"Today on this program you will hear gospel, and rhythm and blues, and jazz. All those are just labels. We know that music is music"

The thing about calling these things "the Best Of 2012" is they're really just "the Best Of 2012 that's available through Spotify right now". But sod it, it's a flavour of what I've liked this year. I've noticed this year has been a hip hop-light, garage rock and torch songs-heavy, kind-of-vintage.
