Well, 2012 - it's sad to see you go. Thanks for not killing us all, and for leaving us with some really great music. Of course, there were some missteps and disappointments (Animal Collective, Metric, Deerhoof, and Mountain Goats, among others) along the way, and, as tends to be the case, my ears failed to find the greatness of certain critically-acclaimed releases (including Frank Ocean, Swans, Kendrick Lamar, Grimes, and Tame Impala), but on the whole, you were more than good to us. From the 1234 tracks collected within my iTunes library over the past twelve months, I present here my favorite 25 albums and 50 songs; more so than in previous years, in 2012 I feel my list diverges from those assembled by other indie music enthusiasts. And so, we begin...

TOP 50 SONGS OF 2012

50. Claro Intelecto - Quiet Life
49. Leila - boudica

Eligibility period: from 1 January, 2012 through 2 December, 2012
During 2012, I've listened to 2254 tracks from 442 artists, which are included on 602 albums, with 6575 plays in all. It's about 3 plays of each track, almost in the same level as last year. (2011 Year-End: 2570 tracks, 820 albums, 593 artists and 7096 plays).

The following stuff about my music taste, are generated based on the top 50 artists in the last 12 months, except the one on the top right corner, it's based on all artists in my library.

10. Penguin Prison - Penguin Prison
Penguin Prison had been trickling out material over what seemed like at least a couple of years, and probably remains even now better known as a remixer. So this is, perhaps, the unheralded triumph of the year. The gradual builds of synth beats and electronic percussion melodies isn't dissimilar from his style of remixing, but these tracks are perfectly crafted pop songs that peak, as they should, in choruses that are sharp and punchy. …
