Could be more diverse I suppose, but it was a great year.

You certainly get props from me for having Unsane, Swans and Liars on that list, that's for sure.

Paedantic Basterd · 12-26-2012, 11:17 PM

No, I'm bad at sticking with the current year in my listening habits. I doubt there's all that music 2012 music I have to choose from. I don't even have the Swans or Unsane albums you mentioned even though I love both bands dearly.

Paedantic Basterd · 12-26-2012, 11:24 PM

Well, rest assured that they're good.
