At FADED GLAMOUR , we're very much in the first camp. But before looking forward, we're here to look back at last year's ones to watch . [...]

Alabama Shakes continue in the good vibes with 'Always Alright' which is taken from the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack. They have been playing the song live for awhile but it finally made its way into a studio version for the soundtrack. Great movie, great song and a pretty damn cool band.

Well, it took a bit longer than expected (losing your job in November and having a baby in January will disrupt the blog-writing process a bit), but Given and Taken in Ink's list for best albums of 2012 is finally here. This year, a handful of bands came out of nowhere and blew me away. I knew right away that debut albums from Drew Smith and The Rest would stand among the best releases of the year. They are joined by 28 other great albums, by artists well-known and obscure. I'm pleased that GTI's 2012 list is a [...]
Urban Dictionary states that adorkable means "both dorky and adorable, a higher state of being all dorks strive towards." Tthis is the perfect word for Fox's hit comedy New Girl . New Girl follows the life of Jess (played by Zooey Deschanel, ex-wife to Death Cab For Cutie front-man Ben Gibbard and the "she" of She & Him), a romantically challenged, awkward, free-spirited, elementary school teacher (see definition for adorkable above), and the three guys whose loft she moves into after a break-up. The show is filled with plenty of awkward moments [...]

I've seen a ton of "best of" 2012 lists and I decided that I wanted to do my own. I asked Eric B to share his as well, so our favorites from last year are listed below. The truth is, I wanted to do a list of my top 10 albums but after I listened to many suggestions, I could only pick five. I didn't want to pick albums which only had a few songs that I liked; that isn't enough to include the whole album on the list. These five albums are a great listen the [...]
