"I'll Dream In Melody"

2012 End Of The Year Lists

This list was really difficult to put together this year. I literally did some math to figure out what order to put them in. Anyways, I’m still pretty terrible at keeping up with new music, so don’t remind me of all the stuff I missed this year. I’m sure I’ll get around to ‘em eventually.

Favorite Albums:

Vacationer - Gone
The Early November - In Currents
Anberlin - Vital
The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten
The American Scene - Safe For Now
Sucre - A Minor Bird
Good Old War - Come Back As Rain
John Mayer - Born & Raised
No Doubt - Push & Shove
Now, Now - Threads

This is such an awesome EP by a band you might not have heard of yet. It’s one of the very few albums I’ve listened to a ridiculous amount of in a while. I bought it without hearing a single song and I’m so glad I did. Also, The Gaslight Anthem needs to take this band on tour ASAP.

And I always dreamed of classic cars and movie screens,
Trying to find someway to be redeemed.
Baby darling, we will be, in the cold cold ground.

Music Recommendations

I’m sick, so I have plenty of time to listen to some new music. If you feel so inclined, please either reply to this post or send me an ask with whatever albums you think I should listen to! It can be new or old and from whatever genre. I’d really appreciate it!

Some stuff I’ve been listening to:

Young Statues’ self-titled album is pretty great. I don’t have it yet but I’ve listened to it a bit on Spotify. Pretty Girls Make Raves is my jam.
I finally bought High Violet by The National and holy smokes, I’m super into this band now. I actually hated them when I first listened to them too.
The new Gaslight Anthem single is getting a lot of listens. I swear, this band can do no wrong in my eyes. Handwritten is easily my most anticipated album this year.
Also, Kenny Vasoli (singer of The Starting Line)’s new project, Vacationer, is super good. I will probably love whatever music this guy makes anyway.

And if all was well
And your heart could find the words
Would we be for better, baby?
Would we be for worse?
And if there was a way
To navigate your seas,
If tonight my true love
Did belong to me…

— She Loves You by The Gaslight Anthem

Random Start: The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations

Yesterday I woke up with a song in my head and it was a Modest Mouse song but I couldn’t remember what it was called plus I was busy babysitting… like, all day. However, for some “random” and wonderful reason this morning I had these lyrics from Great Expectations stuck in my head:

“And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys’ blood from her claws”

Needless to say, I listened to this entire album already today because it’s perfect.
