Scope This Mixtape: Tom Moon’s (Almost) 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die

A few years back, former Inquirer music critic and present day real-deal jazz saxophonist Tom Moon crushed everybody in the world of possibly-meaningful music listmaking and published a little something called 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die. It is a book about the 1000 recordings you should hear before you die. Because you may not come back. At any rate, some generous soul on Spotify has compiled tracks from the massive list assembled in the book and turned it into a playlist. At present, the Spotify playlist has 761 tracks; it will please you to know that, if you are planning on dying soon, it will only take you two days to listen to all of it thus far. That is handy and convenient! As for Tom, you can catch him gigging around town, usually at Time or Milkboy. Make sure you thank him before you leave this earthly plane.
