Weekend Playlist: West/East
Here's the weekend playlist created by
Lyricslinger with help from guest curator
Andrew looking at X/twitter selections (24/10/2025) with
Songs that reference West and/or East.
This was inspired by the 40th anniversary of the release the Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls" as well as the World Series starting between LA Dodgers (West) and Toronto Blue Jays (East).
