Best/Worst Of (2012 Edition)

[GERARDAMO]

Dustin, Metals came out over a year ago... And I was totally going to put Marina in my worst, but I didn't think anyone cared about her.

But in that case, I'm putting Ke$ha's new album on my best of. Best pop album by another white pop girl of the year.

Best Show I went to
uhhhhh probably will have to go with CC again here. That show was so crazy and ~intense~
Metric was meh. Le1f was fun but could have played longer, and the DJs before and after were actually really good too

Are we doing shows too?

Top 5 in order:
Feist + The Low Anthem
Radiohead + Caribou
Spiritualized
Metric
Julia Holter + Hundred Waters
honorable mention to Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Worst show:
Cat Power + Willis Earl Beal + awful opening band that played for too long
CP and Beal were outstanding, but I got lost on my way there and ended up an hour late. The opening band was just starting and they played way too long, one of the performances ever. Beal was off the fucking wall but I didn't have the patience and I wasn't feeling too good. By the time Cat Power came on, I felt nauseous and left in the middle of Manhattan (only the fifth song). All I wanted to hear was Ruin

Biggest regret of not going:
Chairlift + Nite Jewel
I don't like Nite Jewel but Chairlift are awesome, Something is one of the best pop albums of the year. Especially after watching their live sets online, that looked like such a fun show.
