It’s 2012!! And it’s time to look back over the past year, and listen to your favorite tunes of the past year, as well as the tunes you may not have heard yet. This whole episode is drawn from the albums, EPs and singles from my Top Ten Ska and Reggae Albums of 2011.

On the show, you’ll hear your favorite artists like Hepcat, Vic Ruggiero and The Aggrolites and new upstarts like The Forthrights, The Snails and The Simmertones. This episode is available from KDHX.org for the next two weeks. I want to thank all of my listeners for such an amazing year, and for keeping this music alive!
