Munk's Top 66(6) of 2012, Part 4, 29-1 (been super lazy edition)

Here we are about to wrap up the first full month of 2013 and my fat ass is still dwelling in the past choking on every one else's grimy blogging dust. Alright, no news flash! I'm a lazy piece of shit, but if JGD can get back into the swing of things I guess I could at least give my much shittier blog the good old didn't-make-it-though-2-weeks-of-college try. Its quite sad because I really thought I had my shit together there for a minute. Before I can even pretend to begin posting new shit I felt obligated to finish the massive undertaking I set out on about a month ago. Note to self, don't ever try to compile a list of your 66 favorite albums for this (or any) blog ever again. Here is the 'lazy edition' of the second half of my Top 66(6) of 2012 list. This, by the way, is the final nail in 2012's coffin. This is me dotting the i's and crossing the inverted t's on what was the most shitty year ov my puny life. Personal life, handcuffs and all the other whiney bullshit aside, 2012 was an absolutely amazing year for music, fuck what you say. If I had the patience and time this list could have easily been twice as long and I still wouldnt have mentioned every good album that was spun in my pathetic one bedroom dumpster of an apartment during the last year. Comment this list if you'd like but honestly I dont give a fuck if you didn't think Kentucky was the shit... I may have spun 'The Chills' in its entirety much more than I did 'Kentucky' but honestly I listened to 'Bodies Under The Falls' like a professional fucking mad man.. Far too many times for me to count honestly during the last half of the past year and that was reason enough for me to give it the top spot. More vomits soon, hopefully...

Munk's Top 66(6) of 2012, part 1, 66-50

So here is part 1 of my massive 'best of 2012' list. No bullshit, I've listened to probably about 200-300 albums released in 2012 so far and narrowed it down to only 66 for you guys. I know this blog has been bringing the suck pretty much all of this year and I hope that this, and the following 5 posts make up for that dramatically. As this list progresses I will elaborate more on why exactly the album has made such an impression with me this year. As with any year end list there are plenty of albums that I havent yet gotten to and plenty of albums that I didn't find worthy of my top 66, please feel free to comment with your vomitous opinions below.

And oh yea sorry, but there are no download links here folks, in the hopes that most of you have already bought at least a few of these killer records. And if not, c'mon, I'm sure you can find an active link out there somewhere ;)
