Live Ledge #92: Best of 2012
I almost didn't do a show tonight, as the tragedy in Connecticut had me kind of freaking out a bit. Plus, would anybody really care about my dumb show tonight after the more serious activity of the day?
Finally, I decided to go for it mainly so I wouldn't have to endure the redundant info and gun control fights that are going to plague TV, radio, and social media for the next few days. A twitter friend even encouraged me, saying that maybe some music will take people's minds off this stuff.
So I did just that, and even went over my two-hour limit on realpunkradio. Today's show is the unveiling of my best albums of 2012, and since there was no Mojo Workout I decided to air tracks from all forty albums instead of my usual format of fitting the tracks that work on our site.
I'll have the full-length unveiling of my list (and the accompanying manifesto) in the next few days, but the track listing will tell you all you really need to know. Sunday's Rural Ledge-ucation will be devoted to the best reissues, compilations, and other remastered material from the year. Please tune in to realpunkradio.com at 11 am EST that morning for those treats. Until then, grab this show from the usual online spots, or...
