I discovered that Listener is in a rap group called Deepspace 5, Familiarized myself with The Dirty Projectors and The New Pornographers, Listened to the new YMAEWK Ep and realized that even through all the drama that band keeps getting better and better, and finally some albums that I passed up but made a lot of end of the year lists Grimes - Visions, Frankie Rose - Interstellar, and Metric - Synthetica, Oh and Rayland Baxter became the closest thing to country I ever liked.

Best record they've done since And Then Nothing. It's seriously so fucking good. I really hate to be "that guy," but definitely a super early contender for AOTY 2k13 for me haha

It will never be a classic, but it's a good album and worth a listen. They've definitely explored the pop side of their work a lot more on this one. It has some good alternative rock tracks too.

January alone will be crazy bc of this and Christopher Owens. And I'm obviously excited for Paramore haha

Going back through all the great albums of 2012, the likes of the American Scene, The Chariot, ETID, Title Fight, The Menzingers, and others.

It's a great album. Bangarang is my jam, and Beacon is just straight-up tight.

I'll check St. Vincent out, too.
