Time to start ushering 2024 out the door.

On this week’s L.A. Buzz Bands Show on 88.5 The SoCal Sound, kicking off at 10 p.m., I’ll start my annual year-end countdown, “These Are a Few of My Favorite Songs.” Starting at song No. 40, I’ll have tracks from Warpaint, Rosie Tucker, MILLY, Jensen McRae, Lee Lewis, Mehro, Nico Vega, Big Black Delta, Sparkbyrd, Blondfire, Claude Fontaine, Chicano Batman and The Rare Occasions.

And I will bookend the show with my top tune of 2023 (BEL) and one of my favorite covers from this year (MILCK).

Tonight’s is the first of three weeks of the “These Are a Few of My Favorite Songs” countdown. Tune in Dec. 15 and Dec. 22 for Parts 2 and 3, respectively.
