It’s officially here: the 2nd Friday in January which is labeled: Quitters Day.
Let’s not go there.
(Jane’s Addiction “Stop”)
So, did 5K Every Day continue? Let’s go to the tape.

Riveting, huh.
I could probably loop that for 30 minutes and that’s how I look on the treadmill

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision.” – by James Clear
However, today was a little tough. I’m clausterphobic and I was feeling that today on the treadmill.
(“Paranoia, Paranoia”)
I can explain.

On the road today for work – I did get up early and hit the gym for the run.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sure to go over my morning routine as I tweak it.
So far though – the wake-up time is 4:30am.

It’s not pretty at that time. Maybe I’ll have to do a re-enactment?

(Day #7)
Officially ran. 5K Every Day lives on.
That “APT” song – it does get stuck. My daughter has been walking around singing the hook of that song.

By the way, Rose – not Rosé – pronounced Rosie – sings that song along with Bruno Mars.

Yeah, I so didn’t run like that on the treatmill today
(Day #5)
That snowstorm on the Sunday overnight is concerning me though. I don’t have a treadmill at home anymore. It broke – 2021 put a hurtin on that thing.
Going to be running in the snow. Stay tuned!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.” – by Mark Twain
Happy First Weekend of 2025! Every one that I know is getting sick so stay inside and listen to New Music Friday – that’s my suggestion at least. We’ve got Bryce Fox, Emmaline, and the dynamic duo – Henrik & GRAHAM and Lil Baby
(Countdown Video)
New Music Friday:
The last time we heard from Emmaline, she was sitting on Santa’s lap (clip) How do I get me that gig? Oh, we’re back. Hi. We should play her new single of 2025 (clip) That’s called “Wrong Side of Midnight” AND it is the first of 12 songs that we’ll be receiving this year – all of them on the first Friday of every month. (Clip)
Since Bryce Fox’s “Golden Boy” was my Song of the Year via Spotify (clip) Whenever there’s new Bryce Fox – it’s all highlighted for me. (clip) New song is called “King is Dead” and it features King Green, who is very much alive and can be heard on the song (clip)
At the beginning of November – last year (whistle – wahoo, Happy New Year), I talked about Henrik teaming up with GRAHAM for an album called Cedarcliff. (“Call My Name”) Today, the boys are still getting along just fine, but they do do their own thing, too. Henrik released a song of his called “You and Your Eyes” (clip) while GRAHAM released his single called “My Medicine” (clip)
Lil Baby released an album called Wham which makes me think of (Wham clip) but, it’s the single being highlighted that made me think of something else as well (Dumb & Dumber clip) Yeah – that’s from Dumb & Dumber. BUT – hear me out. The song is called “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” AND it features Future as well as the first verse of Young Thug since his release from jail in the autumn // Sorry – Not kid friendly, but it’ll be on the Spotify playlist! //
Several quick hits of new music: Back in early 2023 – that’s like nearly 2 years ago (whistle blow) Morgan Wallen released a 36 song album that was nearly 2 hours long. Today, he dropped a surprise song called “Smile” – just one tune // A lot of hype around this new song – “JRJRJR” being released from Jane Remover off the upcoming Revengeseekerz album / bby (show card) actually came out with this EP last week but I didn’t really get to dig into until now (I like it a lot) – I just want next year to be better “Voices in my Head” is the song being pushed (clip)
Thank you to Spotify, Rolling Stone, Apple Music, uDiscoverMusic, Pigeons & Planes, Pitchfork, Louder, Spill Magazine, Dan Deluca of the Philly Inquirer & I know there’s more.
I put together a Spotify playlist of the songs that I talked about and thought about today for New Music Friday. Click here for that!
Be sure to check out the playlist on Spotify. As I mentioned in the beginning, it’s a playlist of songs that I’ve talked about and thought about: so, you’ll see some new music there from Maggie Rogers, Fuller, Andrew Bird, and anything that I really messed up and missed – well, that’s why I’ll be doing Missed Music Monday on Monday.

However, we are one week away from “Quitter’s Day” – marks the point when some people begin to re-evaluate their New Year’s resolutions. Don’t do it.
(“Chocolate” 1975)
Focus! I’ll be here.
