It’s been 2012 for almost 3 days now, and I haven’t done my list yet. Here she blows (With bonus favourite lyrics!):
1. The Weeknd - House of Balloons
“I think you lost your morals girl, but it’s okay, cause you don’t need them where we’re going.”
2. Junior Boys - It’s All True
“If you don’t really want it, if you don’t really care, then why are you here?”
3. SBTRKT - SBTRKT
“All I see is you. Stars. Open arms. Pharoahs. God. Kings and Queens.”
4. Childish Gambino - Camp
“I’m still knocked down, but I up the ante. Me and hip-hop, that black Sid and Nancy.”
5. Frank Ocean - Nostalgia/Ultra
“Imma try to swim from something bigger than me. Kick off my shoes, and swim good.”
Also great: “I feel like a ghost (no Swayze) ever since I lost my baby.”
6. Kanye West and Jay-Z - Watch the Throne
“This is what the ending of Scarface should feel like.”
7. The Black Keys - El Camino
“I should have seen it glow, but everybody knows that a broken heart is blind.”
8. Neon Indian - Era Extrana
“Are you still coursing through my veins, or is this rain?”
9. Drake - Take Care
“I learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures.”
10. Justice - Audio, Video, Disco
“So you’re running in a best of three, and you’re gunning for it all. May the King fall.”

Peter, Bjorn and John - Gimme More
