We listen to a lot of music in a given year, so it takes something extra special to stay on our proverbial turntables throughout the calendar. This week on My KUTX, some of the KUTX staffers are shouting out these favorites. From goofy Austin garage rock to Nigerian afropop, from Austin heroes to new names, these are the songs that made us dance, smile, and sing along. Hear My KUTX on Saturday, December 9 or listen anytime right here, and see more staff picks here.
