As I fine-tune the L.A. Buzz Bands Show’s annual year-end countdown of songs – coming soon to a Sunday night near you – I’ve prepared a seasonal potpourri for tonight’s show on KCSN (88.5 FM, streaming at KCSN.org). New music, tunes from earlier in 2014, Christmas songs: They’re all in the mix tonight. I’ll have fresh arrivals from the Bad Years, Tall Tales & the Silver Lining, the Tulips, Taste Nasa, Little Brutes and Spelles, along with holiday tunes from the Living Sisters, Eastern Conference Champions and Tuxedo (Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One). And this week’s “Flashback Track” has a holiday-sounding title, though it may or may not be about Christmas. Below, tonight’s playlist, subject to last-minute tweaks:

Tall Tales & the Silver Lining, “Something to Believe In”
Bad Suns, “We Move Like the Ocean”
The Bad Years, “Common Mistake”
Little Brutes, “Carefully”
The Living Sisters, “Baby Wants a Basketball for Christmas”
The Tulips, “Scorpion Moon”
Taste Nasa, “I’d Like to Be Your Girl”
Eastern Conference Champions, “Christmas Time”
Incan Abraham, “Concorde”
The Growlers, “Chinese Fountain”
Tuxedo, “Wonderful Christmastime”
** The Little Ones, “Let Them Ring the Bells”
Spelles, “Out of the Canyon”
The Active Set, “Shut ‘Em Down”
Fitz & the Tantrums, “Santa Stole My Lady”

… and more to come
