My favourite releases of 2012 (Part 1)
First foray into my favourite releases -- predominantly vinyl, some CDs -- from 2012. Not anyone's "best of"... I am no arbiter of what passes as better than anything else... simply tasty tidbits of music I picked up over the past year. Round two next week...
Happy New Year!
