It’s that time of year.

Join me at noon today on The Independent FM for Part 1 of the Buzz Bands LA Show’s annual 101-song countdown — a compilation of my favorite songs of the year. It’s been a particularly bountiful year, so narrowing this list down from the more than 400 songs that have been featured on the program (or the website) was simply agonizing. But here goes.
