ICYMI: January ’23

As a new music lover, every week is exciting because there’s always fresh new tunes to discover. The downside is that a lot of incredible music has a shorter shelf life than it deserves, without continuous play on mainstream radio.

I teamed up with a fellow millennial melomaniac with a penchant for the indie crowd to create In Case You Missed It, now a twice-monthly show on Daz In the Hat radio. Airing the first and third Fridays at both 3 am and 3 pm British time, the show is our attempt at getting our fave tunes from the recent past into more ear holes- and maybe even creating some more new music converts along the way.

Since recordings of our episodes aren’t available after they air, we’ll be sharing clips from our show and song previews for our top picks (see below) in blog posts like this one, along with our full ICYMI monthly playlists. Here’s January’s:

Living in Chile and Canada, respectively, Aura and I are musical expats who make our metaphorical homes in the UK and Irish indie scenes, but we both love to travel, too. That is to say, while you can expect to hear a heavy dose of bangers from the British Isles and immediate surroundings, we won’t shy away from including our fave ballads and belters from around the world, too.

As we prepared for our first episode, Aura said narrowing down the list we started with was one of the hardest things she’s ever had to do. You can tell how much amazing music was released in January by the absolute quality of our honourable mentions. It was genuinely painful to leave some out and we know it’s not going to get any easier!

So let’s get into it- In case you missed it: January 2023.
