Well the year is done and I thought it would be apt to record my scrobbling habits for 2012 (more for my record than anyone else's).

Because I only restarted scrobbling in around August there are a few missing for the Foo Fighters Wasting album (which I was still listening to then), Boy and Bear and also Fleet Foxes all who I listened to a lot in the start of the year. This also explains the relatively low scrobbling numbers for the year.

However I still think it will be a fun thing to look back on in the future, so without further ado, here goes

Top Artists
1. Mumford & Sons (254)
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers (170)
3. Sufjan Stevens (100)
4. A.C. Newman (93)
5. Boy & Bear (77)
6. Augie March (73)
7. Bob Dylan (59)
8. Foo Fighters (tie 57)
8. The White Stripes (tie 57)
10. The Killers (49)

Top Albums
1. Babel by Mumford & Sons (210)

3. Get Guilty by A.C. Newman (83)

Best Albums of the Year:

#1 BLUNDERBUSS, by Jack White: Sure, The White Stripes had some great songs, but it wasn't until Jack White produced Loretta Lynn's comeback record, "Van Lear Rose" that I sat up and really started to take notice. But with 2012's masterful "Blunderbuss," Jack White became the musical aha! of the year. This record is an explosion of sound--an amalgam of punk, soul, country, and rock (all perfectly on display in his brilliant cover of Little Willie John's "I'm Shakin'") that never feels jarring or clunky. Sorry Meg, but his backing band here is particularly strong (that's another personal fave Brooke Waggoner who steals a few moments of her own on keyboards). "Blunderbuss" is a perfect record no matter how you slice it, and it certainly captures a moment, any moment you happen to be in. Get your girl or your boy or your own funky self, and get lost in "Blunderbuss." It is a celebration of just about every reason I love music…
