Welcome to the new year of our overlords 2019, from me, BeeDub, in my recently adopted new home town of Cotati, CA aka "the hub of Sonoma County"... get it? It's shaped like a space station!

The above list barely touches on some of the best releases of last year, so I compiled a THREE HOUR playlist that spans the gamut. Some fantastic music came out in 2018, as it does every year in the realm of Space Rock, Psychedelia, Garage, Post Rock, ExperiMENTAL Musix, and all things weird and wonderful. Crazy sounds to prevent us from going crazy, no?
