Alternately, they could also provide me with a list of the records they listened to the most in 2012, regardless of date of release.

Lebanese-Canadian musician CHARIF MEGARBANÉ, leader of the group HEROES & VILLAINS, was a guest on the DÉCALAGES program on Sunday 28 December on 96.2FM. He presented his first solo album, Concrete Abstracts Vol.1, due for release in early 2009, as well as a previously unreleased track by HEROES & VILLAINS, a fair deal of orchestral jazz, 70s pop, 60s soul and a bit of contemporary underground hip-hop.
