Your Imagination is the Combination
One of my favourite bands is Khruangbin. Last year, I wrote a post about their music. If you’ve never heard of this incredible Texas Trio – you’re welcome.
It is impossible to narrow it down to a defining track. So, I’ve decided to start you off with Pelota by Khruangbin:

To mark the ten year anniversary of Omar receiving the prestigious MBE award from (then) Prince Charles on behalf of the Queen, digital creators NFT Nat and Vectorvault presented the artist with this keepsake. The 10″ Infinite Objects video frame contains an animated certificate marking the occasion (June 16, 2012). As a member of the most excellent order of the British Empire, Omar is beloved by his countrymen and fans around the world alike.
When I turned 50, I started to get nostalgic. Listening to songs from my past and reminiscing about the “Good ‘Ol Days“. Much of my life is punctuated with music. Each of these tracks have been part of a soundtrack that has been on loop for as long as I can remember. Now, I realize that it is very difficult to narrow down this list to only 50, but I tried my best. I’m sure that there are many songs that could have easily made this post. Certain artists could have taken up several slots on their own. I attempted to keep it interesting and represent a wide range of taste – which is what I have.
Thank you to my friends who have helped me to shape my collection and to those who have introduced me to new music along the way. This list is for you. And to those who are hearing some of these songs for the very first time, I hope that you discover something new yourself.
