RFYL Episode – RandomizerEP189
It feels like a staple at this point, but HELLO and welcome to a brand new episode of Run For Your Life. On today’s episode, we feature a fun method of me setting up my playlist through a few different randomizers. It’s fun. It’s exciting. It’s still as awesome as ever – is it little more than just a very robust playlist with shuffle on? Yes, just barely!
Anyway, we have some new stuff, some “old classics” (?), and otherwise just some amazing things to spin for you to give you some shelter from the onslaught of the radio waves. Don’t worry, we don’t even parody carols here.
Enjoy the tunes. Or don’t.

Somehow it’s already Friday. You’ve done it! Now you have a playlist to get you through the final leg of the day. Or the first leg. Or some sort of leg .. the centipede-leg of the day.
Look, I don’t come up with the analogies here. Sometimes I don’t do anything but write minor variances of things that I’ve been doing for the last ten years. How many more times can I say “buy music to support bands, listen to good music and play music loud”?
I guess I just did that. Do that.

If the end of Daylight Savings Time had you screaming into the void during that extra hour, we’re here to help.
Here’s what you would have heard on this edition of the show:
RFYL Episode – AzerbloodEP186
Yet another episode where I continue to purposefully not introduce myself despite it being right here on the show page. Enjoy a bit of time travel as we spice up the show in all the right places with some absolute favourites, while also revisiting some newer tracks that clearly need more spins.
Also we’re coming up on the next anniversary of the show, which is kind of absurd in itself. I’ve decided regardless of where I go with things, at the very least, I’ll provide a bastion from the Christmas music at least for 2021. From then on… well, who can say.
ANYWAY here’s a playlist.
