Christmas is over and now it's time switch gears and focus on the New Years Eve party! For your New Years preparations, I have prepared a Youtube playlist of my favorite songs of 2012.
As I compiled my playlist and heard each song in succession, it startled me how amazing 2012 was in music. Lots of talent, lots of great ideas, great new voices, fantastic follow-ups. I could hardly believe all these songs dropped in a twelve month span.
Take a listen, I am confident you will rock out and hope you'll find something new. If you were overwhelmed by my Albums write up, here's a place catch up. More importantly, check out all the amazing songs that I didn't represent in my album write up.
Put the list on shuffle, or leave it in the presented order if you want to hear the rough order I listened to things over the past two months (like, if that's something you are weirdly into.) I focused on live performances where sound quality was forgiving.
I hope your personal 2013 is as awesome as 2012 sounded!
