Albums of the Year: 2012
by Nic Olson
Tim Barry – 40 Miler
Propagandhi – Failed States
Andy Shauf – The Bearer of Bad News
OFF! – S/T
Title Fight – Floral Green
Leonard Cohen – Old Ideas
In no particular order, these were the albums that mattered most this year. Top Ten lists are usually a crock, since there isn’t actually that much good music out there. Or at least that much different music out there. If it isn’t interesting, it isn’t in my ears. Other significant mentions: Fugazi. This band took up a lot of my time this year, I was only maybe a decade or two behind.
One of my picks was also a pick by The New York Times. Who the hell is Frank Ocean?
