Finally just a few hours left till we toast to the New Year! This past year
seems like it flew right by again and the world decided not to end… We made a list last year and we decided to do it again this year... So here we go! This is a list of 50 records that I really
enjoyed. I really do hope you enjoy this list as well and
hopefully discover something new out of it! That's what usually happens
to me when I read end of year lists! Happy New Year everybody and hope to see ya in all 2013...
