0Ventvox’s Top 30 Albums of 2012
As the year winds down, clichés abound and music nerds like me feel the need to quantify their listening experience in a single digestible listing of their favorite albums. 2012 has been a year where it seemed like music was omnipresent during my every waking moment. This fact shouldn’t be surprising as I maintain a music blog albeit haphazardly, but nonetheless, I digress. 2012 is also the first year that I thought I would let the music speak for itself. It’s not that I’ve gotten too lazy to write a blurb for the albums, it’s just that I have to do the laundry.
