Program December 21, 2012: The Best of the Rest of 2012

This week it's the third and final installment of Global A Go-Go's review of the best releases of 2012, and my last program of the year -- the Rev. Noah will be rocking you a week from today in this time slot.

The focus this time will be on individual songs -- my favorite singles of the year, plus top songs from recordings that didn't quite make my best-of lists.  You'll also hear a few standout tracks from albums that otherwise had few redeeming features, because you never know where you're going to find that hidden gem.
