Best Of 2012

Well, the world didn’t end like so many new age so and so’s were preaching. And I guess that’s a positive thing? haha. Well, at least now I have a more valid excuse as to why I didn’t start work on this sooner. haha. But I will say I did better than the past few years in 2012 as far as output. A few more blog post anyway. But enough of the babbling. Here are my favorite releases of 2012! As always, if you enjoy ANY of these albums, PLEASE SEEK OUT AND BUY THEM!

Best of 2010

So to be completely honest, I feel like kind of a loser with this years “Best Of” list. Last year it seemed like I covered so much! Not only that, but I had a whole separate post of albums I forgot on my first list. I guess the whole idea was kind of epic. At least for me. haha. Either I wasn’t as into music this past year, or I just wasn’t that into a lot of what came out. So here are my faves for the year 2010. It probably is feasible that I will remember stuff that I dug after I post this. That seems to be my way. But enjoy this for now. And as always, if you enjoy the music you hear, please seek it out and purchase it!
