We are a bit late with our “best of 2012” so we won’t do one now. In lieu of a well-thought out list I decided to give myself 60 seconds to jot down names of bands/artists who released something in 2012 that I really enjoyed. The following list of artists provided a soundtrack for my year and their work really became a part of me. As it happens with music, memories were formed around these lovely sounds so this list isn’t ranked – because really, how can one rank memories?
