Six Records I Wished I Spent More Time With In TwentyTwelve
In some ways, this list is much more interesting than the one it follows. Twelve Albums for TwentyTwelve wasn’t a list of the albums that were best or most important or anything like that. Instead, it was a list of albums that I cared about, for one reason or another. A few of them, Swing Lo Magellan, Tramp, Visions, Local Business— probably are album of the year material, but I’m not so foolish to try and make a list like that. I don’t listen to music that way anymore, although, don’t get me wrong, I would like to; “Be More Intentional About Your Cultural Consumption” is probably going to top my list of New Years Resolutions.
This list, then, is of the records that I would have liked to have gotten closer to over the last year. It enumerates what I want rather than what I have, and I think that wanting is always more telling than owning. Without further Adieu
