Top 10 of 2012 plus Mostly Harmless Podcast Mixtape!
Before I get started here, I’m not a music reviewer. There is a reason I stick mostly to interviews. I’m not really good at explaining the WHY of why I like something.

These guys are taking that style and introducing it to a whole new generation […]
