So here we begin 2020, hard to believe we are living in a new decade, for me? A Slow start. I came down with the Flu right after coming back from vacation, and now Cedar Fever is still kicking my ass, but looking forward to some great things coming up in the new year! Hopefully you will make a point to adopt our HD3 station and put us on your dial on your car radio (if you can figure out HD) 93.3 HD3 is where you can find 24/7 metal on the air in Austin, of course in addition to the already popular Saturday night show that rages at Midnight here on KLBJ. I am adjusting the format a little to add some ‘friendlier’ tunes that I still think fit into the metal genre and am always looking for advice on what you might think!
Since the 2020 is just getting going, in lieu of adds, here is the list of the best albums of last year, take a listen, I know your favorite isn’t there, but it probably sucks.
