Just like any year, 2012 contained some beautiful highs and precipitous downers. Yet, music was my Magical Shepherd - peace and love to my bro, Jay, and Miroslav - guiding me through vicissitudes and assisting the ascent. I've never been one for making lists. There are some immensely talented writers that have compiled wonderful lists - my Foxy D bros, my friend Justin, and many others. My list for 2012 is below - and it would not be complete without an accompanying nug or two! There is no order to the list. However, there is one promise: some heady times!! Here it is, in true grip it and b-rip it style!
peace and love to my friends at Humboldt Relief :)

MV & EE - Zebulon Residency box set (C.O.M. 38)
Travelers on the Golden Road know the score. Zebulon is a C.O.M. classic, with the best sound of any MV & EE boxset. Another factor that makes this release special is the list of players: Rongoose, Smokehound, Herbcraft, Jeremy Earl, Jarvis Taveniere, Steve Gunn, PG Six, Willie Lane and Andre Vida. Steve Gunn on Environments is some heavy stuff! Limited to only 99 copies, this meticulously hand-crafted beauty disseminates the Spectrasound vibe.
