An Intro/My Top 20 of 2012

Lot's of my time is taken up by digging for/buying and listening to music. So why not write about it too, yes? I don't expect this blog to grow, I don't expect people to read it, nor do I care. I enjoy passing on music to people so if a couple of people a month happen to land on this page and learn about a band, well that's all worth it.

With that being said, in order to familiarize you with my tastes, here's my Top 20 of 2012. Lots of these end up in my "Overlooked Gems of 2012" post over at NO CLEAN SINGING also.
