Circle City Survival Playlist

I've been situated in Indianapolis, locally known as Naptown or Circle City, since early June.

My favorite radio station in the country is located here, WTTS-FM. Some of the songs on regular rotation have become part of my existential landscape, talking to me and for me over the last few weeks of life-jarring change. 

Below is the set list of my recent life, my personal soundtrack, what I hear when I'm walking the neighborhood, driving across town, tapping out something on the laptop to look busy, or lost in my own thoughts.  Walk, drive, look busy, or get lost in this music. I did, and it's turned bad into good, or mostly good, most (some) of the time.
