I asked some of my favorite musician and artist friends, from Beirut and beyond, to list their 10 favorite albums of 2012…
Alternately, they could also provide me with a list of the records they listened to the most in 2012, regardless of date of release.

1- Leonard Cohen: Old Ideas
2- Lana Del Rey: Born To Die
3- Jack White: Blunderbuss
4- Grizzly Bear: Shields
5- Passion Pit: Gossamer
6- The Shins: Port Of Morrow
7- Hot Chip: In Our Heads
8- Norah Jones: Little Broken Hearts
