December Doldrums

12/8 Show
December is looking to be a slow month for new music, both in album and mp3 releases. You might notice a wealth of older tracks on today's playlist.

I'm working on various year-end lists, so expect to see and hear about those in the coming days and weeks. I'm looking at Monday, December 22nd for a show featuring my favorite songs of the past year. Monday, December 29th's show will feature my top albums countdown. Program/Music Director Chad Reich will do his album countdown from Noon-2 on the same day.

Not many mp3 links this week, but I have installed a new working playlist on the lefthand column. It plays snippets of each song unless that song is labeled as "featured" (wherein it will play the entire song).
