It’s that time of year again.
The time of year where I reflect on all the bullshit I listened to which was created in the year 2012 of our common era. It’s neither complete nor comprehensive but just a bunch of music that’s been in rotation on the iPod this year. I guess you could say that it is my rough order of appreciation.
