Another year comes to an end and with it another great collection of albums and amazing music! Which ones will stand the test of time? We shall see, but here are our picks for favorite albums of 2012!! As for the process, it was pretty simple. I just rounded up all our contributors and had them each send me their fave albums, then I combined them with mine and here's what we came up with in no particular order (except that maybe I tried to get the art works to match up [...]
2012...what a year of music. We got new releases from favorites such as Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Grizzly Bear and heard new favorites in Father John Misty, Nude Beach, Tanlines, and more. Last year Earbuddy celebrated one year of existence with the best 50 albums of 2011 . However, we've grown since [...]
The year 2012 was supposed to bring about 'the end of the world'. But here we are compiling 'best of' lists as if it were 2011 or 2010 or any other year from when blogging started. For me it was a big year with my new job travelling to remote Australia, and some pretty crazy stuff happened out there. On Christmas Island the craziness was the wild chickens and many nervous crabs, along with the locals who choose to live somewhere both remote and expensive. There was Darwin, a beautiful developing city, with an odd aggressiveness to it which [...]
As part of a promotional campaign, MINI is pulling off this thing called Normal Crashing, which is great in that it's a creative, fun way to get some attention and not-so-great in that most people don't want to associate the word "crashing" with a tiny car. For their latest Normal Crashing event, which puts artists in "normal" places to do "not normal" stuff, they got Twin Shadow to perform in a Lubinski Furniture store in Chicago. Watch Twin Shadow perform "Five Seconds" (one of the best songs of 2012 ) among couches and lamps in the [...]
And here it is, the final piece in the all-too-lovable list week: Bears And Bullets Top 50 Songs Of The Year, numbers 25 through one. #25: Mean Jeans - I Miss Outerspace #24: Oneohtrix Point Never - I Only Have Eyes For You #23: The Walkmen - Heaven #22: A$AP Rocky - Goldie [...]
By tradition, the third annual Nite Versions 'Best Of' list gathered some of the greatest albums issued over the past 365 days. We've been keeping a closer eye on how the genre(s) was changing for ages. We also appreciate the way it was transforming into better shapes and dimensions while never stood still and boring to its audience. For us, the year belonged to Tame Impala . This is the album that we thought is insanely impressive and was most listened on our players in 2012. We are pleased to invite you explore the rest of the [...]
We debated, we disagreed, we came up with our collective best 50 albums of 2012.
Podría arrancar esta nota con algún latiguillo aburrido como "Se nos termina un nuevo año y..." . Pero no lo voy a hacer, más que nada porque supongo que todos ya saben que está terminando el año. Y los que no lo saben se están dando cuenta mientras leen estas líneas donde indirectamente -y a mi pesar- lo termino diciendo. La cuestión es que para estas fechas aparecen siempre los balances anuales, esa especie de trampa psicológica que la gente usa para convencerse que las cosas salieron bastante bien y que seguramente el año que viene, si el universo [...]
Favorite Music Videos of 2012 (Alex) There was no way I was going to be able to watch all the music videos released this year. I liked so many different videos for so many different reasons it seemed silly to try and rank them. That's why I have presented my first year-end list (several more to come) alphabetically. The reasons I liked music videos this year was for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from the ones that might not have made the list [...]

(photo by cubagallery ) We're quickly approaching the end of 2012 and/or the world depending on your interpretation of Mayan prophecy, and that can only mean it's time to reflect on the best albums of the year. For me, one record stood head and shoulders above the rest in 2012, so album of the year was an easy decision, but there was much deliberation for the other 24 positions (plus, honorable mentions). This was one of the most diverse years of music in recent memory, with pop, guitar-oriented rock, folk music, indie-pop and electronica all being represented [...]
I've got my best albums of 2012 ready for Friday, but I have to be honest that I always enjoy putting together my best songs lists. You might not sit down and listen to your ten or twenty favorite albums at once, but you can relieve the year through single songs in a couple of hours. My best of ____ mixes (and those throwback one's made by Dan ) are some of my favorite mixes of all time. If you're not already making best of ____ mixes, you need to start. Today. The only rules? One song [...]
(photo by cubagallery ) These are 50 tracks that delighted, inspired and fascinated us in 2012 and that we think are worthy of remembering long after the year is over. We present them here in highly unscientific ordered list form, with Matt's songs marked with a "-MG" and my choices with a "-TJ" next to them. To better spread the love, we've stuck with the one song per artist rule. Click here to download all the tracks in a zip and subscribe to our Spotify Playlist to stream them all. Enjoy y'all! [...]
10. GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR Allelujah!Don’t Bend! Ascend! [Constellation] Il miglior rifugio quando tutte quello che non vuoi sentire sono le solite note messe bene in fila. Post rock e sperimentazioni bollenti come lava. I Goodspeed You! Black Emperor non concedono via di scampo: o ci si casca dentro oppure si fugge a gambe levate. In questo disco ci si entra e se ne esce pieni di graffi e ferite. Nessun dolore, solo la “leggerezza” di un’indifferenza a tutto quello che prova a [...]
![[75 - 61] Los 150 Tracks de 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4677566_lg.jpg)
Como cada año, este conteo puede llegar a ser un poco agotador para mi, sin embargo al final del día me queda la sensación de que cada publicación ha valido la pena, ya que con ello todos aquellos que no pudieron estar al tanto de lo que pasaba día con día en el mundo musical durante todo el año, pueden darse un pequeño quemón de las cosas mas relevantes que ocurrieron a lo largo de estos 12 meses, así como esos fascinantes descubrimientos que por fin pudieron debutar con sus álbumes de larga duración como el caso de Some [...]
La noche del pasado 13 de diciembre pudimos vivir una fiesta que según 2abejas, fue digna "del fin del mundo". Haciendo honor a su nombre, Dapuntobeat y Twin Shadow nos ofrecieron un par de shows inolvidables e increíbles. En los originarios de México D.F. pudimos notar su increíble evolución que han tenido a lo largo [...]
25 Sleigh Bells - Reign of Terror Comeback Kid - Sleigh Bells Sometimes I have these weird dreams where Alexis Kraus is seducing me by playing "Comeback Kid" in a flannel onesie. I wake up hating my life. S 24 Andy Stott - Luxury Problems Andy Stott - Numb A beautiful body of [...]
Twin Shadow se presentó la noche de ayer en el Auditorio Blackberry para la celebración del sexto aniversario de la productora 2 Abejas en la fiesta llamada The End of The World Celebration . Fue una noche tranquila con el auditorio adecuado esperando a la banda con entusiasmo. Twin Shadow salieron puntuales, tocaron canciones tanto del reciente Confess así como de su primer álbum Forget en un set de duración [...]
About two weeks ago MTIB started whittling down a list of over 5,678 abums (5,679 albums to be exact) to bring you a list of our favorite albums of the year. This year we decided we shouldn't stop at just ten, but share all of the albums that were in the running as well. So, here you have it. The 50 finest albums of 2012, in our humble opinions. Although, we may not use as many big words as Pitchfork and we may not always be as 'hip', we do understand those words and we did [...]
