Live Ledge #339: Best of 2018 (So Far)

June ending in just over 24 hours means that we are at the halfway mark of 2018. Six months has past. Have you enjoyed this year's musical selections?

I have. The last couple of years have been amazingly strong years for fans of indie, garage, punk, singer/songwriter, Americana, and so many other genres. Great bands have emerged from all over the globe. Old bands have reunited with records every bit as great as those put together during their heydays.

Tonight's show celebrates just some of the records that caught my fancy this year. I hope you feel the same. And if you have a little bit of time, let me know what you've been into this year. I'm always looking for new obsessions!

It's quite a fun listen, and hopefully everybody discovers a track or two they've never heard before! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher. Or...
