End-of-year Playlists for 2012

Once again, I've put together my annual Yuletide Mix of interesting artists and songs, most (but not all) with a psych pop or power pop vibe. The 2012 edition features new bands such as The Sufis (great new psych pop from Nashville, much like The Paperhead) and The UFO Club (Christian Bland of the Black Angels and Lee Blackwell of The Night Beats) along with several long-time favorites. The "flow" is crucial in my opinion, so here they are, in an order that hopefully makes for an enjoyable listening experience:

1. The Well Wishers “Free? No” (from Dreaming of the West Coast)
