Things I Liked A Lot This Year: 2012

Rather than bore you with summary of e v e r y  s i n g l e thing I liked this year, like some sort of closeted narcissist,  I'm just going to list them as I see fit.  No bullshit, just a plain list, which is still bullshit.  For any albums listed I've tried to include the Spotify link for that album for those of you on Spotify, and for any song I've included the link to the whatever the top YouTube result is.  Anyway, enjoy!!
