Been a while since we’ve done a show on the KPFK Airwaves, and after a long semester my voice seems to just about have had enough. I’d already intended to do something special for our next to last show of 2012, so we had a couple of choice shows to give away tickets to, with Boogaloo Assassins performing on NYE and Erykah Badu just a few days earlier here in LA, an extended look at the Numero Group’s amazing 45 45 Eccentric Soul set and in the second hour a replay of DJ Spinna’s amazing guest DJ set from back in November! Next week I’ll be on all vinyl running down the best pieces of wax that I dug up in 2012 and in a couple weeks we’ll run down the best releases of 2012 during our first show of 2013!
