Last year I chose twelve album releases that stood out throughout the year of 2012, which turned into thirteen before it was over. This year I can’t do that. I have too many to choose from.
2013 saw a lot of excellent albums from a variety of music genres. I couldn’t cut it [...]
Looks like I came through after all. Last week you might remember my first mix of Cumbia I had received and loved throughout the year 2013. It was one monster of an undertaking, going through my collection and choosing my favorite tracks and the best tracks to work in the mix. I managed [...]
