Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]
1. Lonerism Tame Impala (buy) The reverb vibrates in and out of focus so you question what is there and what is not. Drawn out syllables stretch themselves across a room too small for the guitar amps, like the family room at Christmas overflowing with wrapping, tinsel and bodies. The words can't easily be understood in so many layers washing over your ears but their message is heard clearly. The lyrics may describe feelings of solitude, but the songs themselves do something to the opposite effect--they are not written to [...]

These dozen albums from 2012 were the ones that I enjoyed listening to the most over the course of the year. Again the list is arranged broadly in ascending order of likeability. Swing Lo Magellan by Dirty Projectors There is no way that I would have listened to this album (or an album like this) all the way [...]
With 2012 drawing to a close, the DJs of WQHS give to you their top ten albums of the year. Check out the entire list after the jump. 10. Cat Power - Sun Four years after Jukebox and six years since her last original material on The Greatest, Chan Marshall returns with Cat Power in her long awaited ninth full-length album Sun . In what seems to be her most costly work yet, Marshall [...]
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 [...]
As I looked over my playlists from the year 2012, I have tried to only add the songs that either charge me up or songs that seem to find a way to my heart and soul. Here are my favorites for 2012. I couldn’t possibly rank them, so they are simply listed in the order that they were released. Editor's Note: The majority of the songs are in a playlist at the bottom of the post page. Cloud Nothings - "Stay Useless" This song reminds me of that awkward wonky [...]
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 [...]
Alas, our 2012 Annual Report has come to an end. Over two long, grueling weeks, we've shared this year's top stories , photos , videos , and songs , in addition to our picks for artist , band , rookie , and festival of the year. It ain't over until several of you argue about your favorite albums, so that's where today fits into the picture. Below you'll see 50 of our favorite albums, all ranked and argued for your pleasure. Some you might have heard, others maybe not [...]
Diciembre es el mes de la subjetividad, donde todos los medios realizamos listas sobre “lo mejor” del año que termina, recordando toda la música que sirvió como soundtrack de los días que vivimos. Este 10 de Diciembre de 2012, la redacción de RockandRadio ha decidido elegir los 25 discos que más sonaron en esta oficina [...]
It being Friday, and just shy of half-way through the ninth month of the year, this morning I ( @andykahn ) decided on a whim to tweet out my Top 9 Albums of 2012 (so far). Along with the nine I chose, I also added a handful of, “Honorable Mentions,” that didn’t quite make the cut. With a quarter of the year left, 2012 has thus far proven to be another impressive year of album releases. #9 album of 2012 (so far) @ mapsnatlases "Beware [...]
Well it's pretty much been half a year in this new job and it feels like it's only been a fortnight. It's like Inception but for my grip on reality, within reality. The real world is moving at a normal pace but my grip on reality is kinda flimsy. Instead of sands through the hourglass it's more like sands through my hands. And July disappeared into the proverbial sink-hole of time. See, I'm not even sure that makes sense or if I've just embarrassed myself and am gradually slipping into premature dementia. I'm working longer hours, more days, and [...]
Frank Yang I don't think Toronto necessarily has an international reputation as a destination for expatriate pop geniuses, but apparently Canadian women hold a certain appeal for them. Joe Pernice of Pernice Brothers has been up here for the better part of eight years while Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub moved to Kitchener a couple years ago - both on account of their Canadian wives - and on Friday night, they were on stage together at The Dakota Tavern for a low-key show together. It had been advertised as a Joe Pernice [...]
This morning we mentioned some upcoming releases we're excited about, but not every band has their plans set in stone. Some are more vague, intentional or not, about their current projects, leaving us to speculate about whether they'll make good on a promise for a record in 2012, or whether they'll just surprise us with a stellar album. Here are some bands we're (*fingers crossed*) expecting/hoping for albums from this year. Sometime in 2012 [...]
When you compile a list like this, you start to tremble at how much you're really going to absorb in the ensuing months. This doesn't even cover the misses and surprises. If you're a casual listener, you might get through an album a day. Okay, maybe two. If you're a fanatic, you're spinning discographies left and right. Still, after 365 days, either person is buzzing. One's just a little louder with the phonetics. As I wrote back in December, in a year, you'll have your next roundup of favorite albums. You'll have a new favorite song. You might [...]
This Christmas week we are counting down our top 50 albums of 2009 taken from the personal lists of 35 of the State writers and photographers. No doubt, there will be tears, spilled milk, outcry, acceptance and surprises along the way. We hope you find something you overlooked in the course of the year. Our 40 to 31 list sees the first and last appearance of a compilation, a revered indie rapper, an experimental English shape-shifting popster, Africa's best Western-influenced band, an R&B legend, a "bored" US scuzzy-rocker and a forward-looking retro dance album. Albums of 2009: [...]
This rather amazing 31 track compilation is a must-have for anyone interested in any of the featured artists not because they feature but because the standard of songwriting is so high that it exceeds most other charity compilations (AIDS charity Red Hot - A good cause too right?). All and sundry culled from North American alternative and indie music is present including: The National, Feist, Grizzly Bear, Sufjan, The Books, Yeasayer, My Brightest Diamond, Iron and Wine, Spoon, Arcade Fire, Dirty Projectors, David Byrne, Bon Iver, Beirut, Cat Power, Kevin Drew and on and on.. Ridiculous line-up. The album is [...]
So by now most have heard of this AIDS compilation that has everyone and their brother on it. Not sure if we have ever seen such a great combination of artists for a compilation. Have a look below at the track list if you haven't already. Sufjan's ten minute trip fest? Bon Iver singing falsetto over electric guitar? Ben Gibbard with Feist? Dirty Projectors with David Byrne? Grizzly Bear and Feist? There are some interesting match-ups and from what we have heard of the album so far, the artists aren't just treating this like some small charity deal, [...]
