Going the distance in 2012

New Music MachineGoing the distance in 2012

As I've been putting together my list of favorite albums of 2012, a couple of trends in music hit me.

Productivity Guided By Voices returned with their original line-up this year to release not just one but 3 albums between January and October.  San Francisco garage rocker has put out three albums as well – one collaboration with White Fences, one with his band and a solo album  I'll start off the show with songs from all 6 albums.

Longevity I've also noticed a lot of bands that have re-united to release records this year as well as many that have managed to continue releasing exciting records after 20 or more decades playing.  Tune in for music from the dB's, Dinosaur Jr., Redd Kross, Swans, Dead Can Dance among others (no this isn't Songs From The Big Hair, that's on Saturday).
