Best of 2012 (So Far) Menu

This week choice selections of the best music that’s come out so far this year that we’ve featured here on this program. Please note that this is not all of the great music that’s emerged in 2012, but since we’re only broadcasting once a week, that limits the amount of servings we can present. I would like to know what your top 3 or top 5 choices are from this week’s program. Leave a comment or tell me on FB or Twitter. Some of what will be heard was released in late 2011 and not featured here until 2012, so make note of that as well. Once again, two hours of great music. *Note, some of these songs were released prior to 2012 but were not featured on our program until this year.*

If you missed part of any of the show on the radio this week, listen again to 2 hours HERE.

Enjoy!

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.
