2012 Playlist

Every year I make a playlist of the songs from the year that I really liked. This year's list reflects the following:

• An over exposure to BBC6 - The Maccabees, Of Monsters and Men, The Unthanks, Jack White
• Recommendations from Q Magazine - Emeli Sande, Bill Fay, Jessie Ware, Elton John vs Pnau
• Something new - The Vaccines, The Lumineers, Japandroids
• Something old -  Patti Smith, The Rolling Stones
• A song I heard on YouTube while watching a bike video, Sounds of Guns -Martyn Ashton - Road Bike Party

Here is the list on Spotify and Rdio.  Here are the links.
