Categories Charts, Leave a Comment on (2012 end-of-year lists) – MICHAEL THIEKE

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.
