Casey’s 2022 Playlist

It’s that time of the year again. Here are the songs that have made my 2022 mix tape, err mix CD, err… I mean playlist.

This year’s set is heavily influenced by what was going on in my life and the world at large. I was truly heartbroken at the passing of Betty White (thanks for being a friend, Betty). Daniel and I had our wedding ceremony and walked down the aisle to the DS9 main title. We bought a car from a friend and named her Sally after our favorite space lesbian Sally Ride. Pink captured a lot of my feels on the Roe v Wade reversal. All just to name a few.

1. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Main Title – Dennis McCarthy
2. The Golden Girls Theme Song
3. The Bones – Maren Morris
4. Mustang Sally – Glee Cast
5. Brandy – Looking Glass
6. Wake Up Romeo – Caro Emerald
7. Irrelevant – Pink
8. 1-800-273-8255 – Logic (the music video is amazing)
9. Dance Off – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
10. Most Girls – Hailee Steinfeld
11. Anywhere – Beth Orton
12. Say Something – Justin Timberlake
13. Both Sides Now – Emilia Jones (CODA is amazing, see it!)
14. Marble Machine – Wintergatan (another great music video)

You can listen to the songs on Spotify. As always, the order of the songs has been carefully curated. You may not be able to listen to them in order with the Spotify free account.

You can find prior year playlists under the mix cd tag (yes, they’ve been going on that long — 11 years now!).
