Happy Birthday!! You’ve had a great year with lots of good things to come of your efforts. I like the threads. I have this idea I listen to the same things over and over but I’m not sure that’s true. It’s also nice to see what other people are listening to and get recommendations from them.

Seeing what everyone is listening to & finding new stuff is one of the highlights of my week. I'm just like you; I feel like I listen to the same things over & over, even if I know that's not necessarily true.

Congrats on 1 year Kevin. I'm a big fan!

My favorite posts are the "What are you listening to" editions. Love seeing what you and the community are listening to.

This newsletter is unique, and you bring to life your dream of "making mix tapes for this digital age" so well.

Here's to many many more years of success and community.

Cheers!

"My goal for On Repeat is to liven up your playlists and occupy a permanent spot on your list of “never miss” newsletters."

You've succeeded in both with this subscriber. I subscribe to a large and diverse set of newsletters, but On Repeat is in the "never miss" category!

Ah, time passes by so quickly! Congrats on the milestone, Kevin. Next year, I hope you have thousands of subscribers. You were one of the first newsletters I followed, and that I’ll continue to follow. Hit me up if you ever want to do a collab again.

I've only been subscribed to 'On Repeat for a couple of months but it's already something I look forward to dropping into my inbox. As a fellow music obsessive, I know I'm going to go on another journey, discovering the new and reflecting on the old, and will likely come out the other side with something great I hadn't heard before.

Here's to your sophomore year.

Happy Birthday, Kevin! Your mention of mixtapes makes me wonder if a thread of readers' favorite mixtapes (either made or received from a friend/loved one) might make for an interesting topic (if you haven't already done it, that is)!

I'll save my coupla contributions for the if/when you do that....to those for whom the word "mixtape" might be greeted with a resounding "Huh?", they might add a favorite playlist they either made or received.🍬🍭🍫🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂🍰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Congrats again!

I want to thank you for sharing your music with us!! I'm happy to say that we still have two record stores in our small downtown and we can still go crate digging. I love it. Once I found an album that didn't have any label in the center. I asked the owner of the store if he could play it for me. It was a rare live Adam and the Ants. I was amazed!!! We used to spend most of our Saturdays in that store. Keep the music coming!!!!!!!

Will do, and thanks for being here! These are the stories I love to see! That simply wouldn't have happened with a phone screen.
