Karnivool played three gigs in India in a week, and Gotye is performed in Delhi last night (pictures). The [...]
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 1 (100-51) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs.
