PROGRAM 34: SNOW & SOCA [1.17.13]

Snow was in the forecast when I did this show more than two weeks ago, but it never came. We've seen 70 degree days since then, but as if in direct challenge of the will of the God of Punxatawney, it's 20 degrees out and snowing now as I type this post. Enjoy some snow tunes, then warm up with some 2013 soca hits!
