2012 has been a fantastic year for solipsistic NATION!

In 2012 began streaming on taintradio. At first glance it seems like an off fit—taintradio is primarily a jazz station, but that also include jazz on the fringes like Naked City and Last Exit. If you kind of squint your eyes you can see how solipsistic NATION might fit into taintradio's overall format. Whatever, I don't care. I'm just thrilled and honored to be included on taintradio's roster. Check out my interview with Bob Rogers, the founder of taintradio, here.

There are a lot of new listeners to solipsistic NATION this month and if that's you, welcome aboard. You're probably wondering what this show is all about so let me get you up to speed.

The first weekend of each month I feature a live performance by an electronic musician. This month our guest was Michael Maricle, and that show got over one 144,624 downloads, so that may be how you found out about solipsistic NATION. The second weekend of each month, as I mentioned earlier, I showcase a record label that's putting out such amazing releases that it's my duty as host of this show to turn you on those labels.The rest of the month on solipsistic NATION is chock full of interviews and music and from time to tine, a guest DJ comes to town.

On today's show we'll bring in the new year with our guest DJs Juan Diego Borda and Andres “Popa” Erazo. Together they are Palenke Soultribe!

Palenke Soultribe is a loose-knit collective of musicians based out of Los Angeles. I've been a fan of their music since the release of their Tropic N Heaven album back in 2007. Such a fan that I was kicking myself earlier this year for not having them on the show yet. I sent them an invitation to cone on the show to play live. They declined because they are hard at work on their forthcoming album but they were generous to put together an awesome mix to close out 2012 and bring in 2013! Toss this mix onto the stereo at the next party you go to tonight!

On that high note, I want to thank all the bands and musicians, labels and festival organizers, filmmakers and documentarians, photographers and artists who make solipsistic NATION. And of course I want to thank you for listening. I'm stunned at how many there are of you. Tell a friend about the show, let's see how big solipsistic NATION can get in 2013.

See you next year!
