We’ve gone through my Favorite TV of 2012 list, so now it’s time for music! Like last year, I just threw 12 songs into a downloadable MP3 mix to celebrate some of my favorite tunes of 2012! There was obviously much more great music than this, but these were the songs that wore my headphones out the most this year. Tracklist:

1. Demons - Sleigh Bells
2. Never Go Back - Grace Potter & the Nocturnals
3. Temporary - White Rabbits
4. Heartbeat - Kopecky Family Band
5. Taro - alt-J
6. Little Numbers - BOY
7. If I Had a Cent - The Hives
8. Brother - Lord Huron
9. A Little Opus - Little Comets
10. Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch) - Calvin Harris
11. Dark Doo Wop - MS MR
12. Fatal Shore - Andrew Bird

A lot of these I’ve posted throughout the year here, but now they’re all available in one nice download! Get it here!

Enjoy! 

PS. For what it’s worth, I’d probably give my vote to alt-J’s An Awesome Wave for my favorite album of the year. If you haven’t heard it, get on that right away.

Today in mixes nobody asked for: Summer Tunezzz!
