If you pick up this week's dead-tree edition of the Scene, you'll find a me-penned feature by the name of "Best Local Rock of 2012 Winter Mix." The mix features 14 tunes released in 2012 by locally residing musicians of a rock 'n' roll bent (stretching the definition of "rock 'n' roll" here and there just a bit, but hey, lighten up) along with my general appraisal of each track. Contributor Stephen "Goose" Trageser was kind enough to round up all 14 of the featured tracks (each of which can be purchased, streamed and/or downloaded for free somewhere online) and plant them on his Soundcloud page. Thanks, Goose! Stream the mix here or above, and follow me after the jump to see the full track list, along with links to where you can get your digital paws on each individual track.
