Best of 2012 – Alex’s Top 5
Alex’s Top Albums of 2012.
So without further ado, here are my top 10 albums of 2012. In the podcast, I discuss my top 5.
When First Aid Kit played the Wonder Ballroom last April, there was a magical moment when the Swedish sisters quieted the crowd to a still silence and asked everyone to snap their fingers. The hush over the crowd evolved to sound just like rain falling. It was a brief event, under a minute, but one that left a mark and really captured a spirit in both the performers and the audience.
Before everyone gets all up in arms because I put together a top ten list just a day or so after my boyfriend did, I think I need to defend myself momentarily: I initially was going to write a review for Pickathon as well, but decided not to so as to avoid any redundancy in subject matter covered, or opinions about said subject matter. Now, Alex and I do have a some similar tastes, but when it comes to what our favorites are for the year, there is a clear difference in where our preferences lie.
