I’m going to open this column with a very cliché statement: I can’t believe the year is nearly over! While it may be cliché, it’s true – 2012 has flown by! And with the passing of another year comes a time to reminisce about musical discoveries past, and this year there were many. This isn’t a standard “Best of the year” list. I’m not sticking to just bands or live shows; there is so much more to music, and specifically to LOVING music than that. So in no particular order here are some of my most memorable musical discoveries of 2012.
