Tune in at 11 a.m. Pacific time as I say goodbye to 2013 with a special edition of the Buzz Bands LA Show on The Independent FM. It’s the third and final week of the Buzz Bands LA 101, the annual countdown of my favorite local songs of the year. Last week, we made it down to No. 37 in the countdown, so I’ll wrap things up with the final 36 songs. After the jump, you’ll find a playlist and a stream of this week’s show – and, in case you missed them, a recap of the first two weeks’ shows.

Hope your holiday season is going well, and thanks for following Buzz Bands LA on The Independent FM in 2013. Looking forward to 2014 …
