Best So Far

As you may know, I’ve been doing a lot of updating and working to put our Program Archive online so that you can enjoy any of our previous 460+ programs anytime you want. In the process of assembling all that audio content, I’ve been re-listening to a lot of stuff that we’ve heard this year. It got me thinking about what I feel is some of the best music thus far. So I wanted to just post a few categories and see what you had to say about it. So, comment and let me know what tracks are you favorites at this point in 2012 from what has been featured on the show. And if I’ve missed something that you feel deserves credit, or be included in this list, let me know.

Sweet Treasures Menu

Music off of other people’s radar is what I love, and that’s what I featured. I think that’s one thing that makes The Appetizer the most unique product on the radio (or found online for that matter). It’s not just a bunch of unknowns, but known and unknown served up together. You’re find in this playlist some artists you know and others you don’t. Both are sweet treasures. And don’t forget you can hear our radio show online HERE. Listen Now!
