Hello, here is our list of our favourite records and releases from 2012. A bit late yes. We bought 163 records in total – mostly vinyl and cassettes but a few cds and digital releases. About a 100 less than last year. According to last.fm we listened to a little over 34000 tracks during the past year. Which is a bit less than last year as well. We blame work and life in general.
Rules are the same as last year – if we got hold of it in 2012, then it counts as released in 2012. Except for Shoppers who was released late 2011 but became a big part of 2012 for us.
And yeah, definitely more tough than cute this year.
