i realized recently that podcasts have really limited my music listening during my commute, but i still found the time to squeeze in a ton of new music this year.

- japandroids – celebration rock*
- divine fits – a thing called divine fits*
- metz – metz*

i listened to mike o’neill’s album far more than anything else this year. if you haven’t heard it, you really should check it out.
I was hoping you’d address my comments on your poor review of the radical dudez. I am disappointed but I understand that the years have been long for us all.
Also, I’ve noticed that you have not blogged in a couple of months. I hope my comments have not dissuaded you from supporting live music.
All the best and I look forward to further posts in 2013.
Your loyal reader,
