Skating in right before the buzzer is the thirty-ninth episode of the still-ongoing RandoMax Radio movement. Compiling sixteen tracks from various musical genres into a single playlist, including some lifted from our beloved hip hop, still the red-headed stepchild of the industry regardless of its global popularity, shouldn't seem like a novel idea, and in many ways it isn't. Still, there aren't a ton of shows like this one, which tells you everything you need to know about how segregating music based on subject matter and how many times the word "fuck" is used is still a very real thing in 2022. As always, I'm here to help you see through the bullshit, because good music is good music.
The tracklist will be made available at a later date, but it's more fun to proceed not knowing what to expect from me. Anybody who has listened to a previous episode in this series knows that some of the choices will feel like they just make zero sense, which is where the entertainment value lies. Perhaps I mean that just for myself, but you won't know until you press 'play'.

New year, same general reminders and requests: subscribe to the RandoMax Radio feed to catch up on previous episodes and to receive updates before they appear on either of the sites; you can also follow me on Twitter at @hhid_Max for pop cultural wiseassery; and of course, you can leave your comments, complaints, memes, song and/or article suggestions below. Do me a favor and share this mix with at least one person - that will help with growth, reach, and my overall sanity, as these mixes are designed to be enjoyed.
¡Salud!
