The 2012 Year End List Continues May through August

It's the end of the world as we know it.  I wonder about people who panic thinking it's the end of the world.  The one time in your life you shouldn't panic, it's when you know it's all going to end in an instant. It's out of your hand so relax.  I say sit back, drink up and watch the mother burn.  And that's my entry for December 21st, 2012. Bring it on Universe!

Now, to the summer releases for 2012.  There was a lot to go through.  It was a damn good summer for music.  May was jam packed.  June had all it's awesome albums released on the same day.  You can do your own research to find out which one.  July had a lot of soul.  And August ended on the dance floor it seems.
