La última lista compilatoria del año 2012 es aquella que engloba y premia al trabajo musical en su conjunto, a los lanzamientos tomados como un concepto y un esfuerzo global por entregarnos algo nuevo, algo que no hayamos escuchado con anterioridad y que escape a los éxitos solitarios de una canción o un remix: nos referimos al conteo de nuestros 20 discos favoritos del año. Al respecto, el 2012 fue un año que, sumando y restando, estuvo acorde a las expectativas y que fue testigo de grandes nacimientos, de varias consagraciones y de uno que otro fracaso inevitable.

About 200 of you guys participated in our annual readers poll, and the results were tight. You had the chance to vote for 5 albums, and I gave each album a point value, decreasing with each vote. So first place got 5 points, second place got 4, etc... The race was very close between Frank Ocean & Tame Impala, but in the end, Frank Ocean took home the Orange gold. All in all, the taste of you faithful bunch alligns quite well with mine, minus Mumford & Sons. In total, 252!! albums were voted for, which is insane. [...]
Last but not least, mi (muy) extenso listado de discos internacionales. En Super 45 siempre nos piden 20 (incluyendo los nacionales, que acá separo en una entrada aparte), pero creo que este año podría haber puesto diez más. Para ser honesto, no a todos los discos de este listado les di como tarro : algunos los escuchaba una vez a la semana (mucha mala onda repartida), otros los escuché solo durante el mes final del año pero y, bueno, a otros los escuché harto-harto-harto. 24 discos (y EPs) internacionales del [...]
Our good friend and frequent TWJ contributor Cole has the good fortune to live in New York City, and the even greater fortune to attend a remarkable amount of concerts throughout the five boroughs every year. Since this year was filled with enjoyable shows, he decided to run down a list of his favorites he [...]

Whether in music videos, press photos, or live shows, there's no hard and fast rule on music fashion, and it's wonderful. No one's going to stop you before you get on stage and say, "Hey, you can't do that," and if they do, you can just hire a new manager. Looking at the modern indie-sphere, we've gone everywhere from ripped jeans, retro resurgence, leather overdose, Aztec patterns, and a myriad collection of hats! Couple these music fashion "innovations" with asymmetrical hair and the occasional face-paint, and you've got a heap of bands trying to stick out in the fashion world. [...]
After the record-breaking hot and humid summer we just had, Autumn and the cooler temperatures that come with it, is a most welcome change. Who doesn't love pulling out their sweaters and scarfs, admiring the lovely shades of reds and yellows, and the smelling the bonfires and apple cider? With the changing trees and temperatures, the music I most associate with the season is different too, focusing on the wistful, laid-back and mostly acoustic songs that wrap around you like a warm sweater. As we always do here at Music For Ants, we're proving a new mix of [...]

Well, everyone else is doing it, so why don't we? We're going to toss out our top five albums of the year, except we'll be doing it with our four main contributors, so hopefully that'll mix things up a bit. Obviously, we're only half-way through the year, so things are subject to change, and by things I mean our minds. Nicole Baumann 1. Beach House- Bloom At first, this album for me seemed a [...]
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Andrew Bird – “Eyeoneye” This felt version of Andrew Bird has a hell of a lot going on inside of him. Not only are there tiny little men working on machines in his chest, but also vibrant stars and planets swirling around inside his head. Chromatics – “These Streets Will Never Look the Same” I dare you not to immediately put on Drive after checking out this latest video from [...]
There's no better way to kickstart the weekend than with some fresh tunes. In our selections this week, we've got both great music and G.O.O.D. Music, including a teaser for Twin Shadow's new disc and a remix from Kanye West's dream team. If you're more in the mood for some new discoveries, we've got those as well. Whatever your plans for the weekend, you'll need these ten tracks to accomplish them; we are sure of it. -Mike Madden Staff Writer Ab-Soul feat. Kendrick Lamar - "ILLuminate" [...]
