"Ivory and Blue" by Menahan Street Band is great. It's all I can think of now because it is playingat this moment. Oh, And after seeing it live, I really love Father John Misty's "Nancy From Now On".

He brings a lot out of those songs live. I really hope there's a follow-up in 2013.

Also, I love Fiona Apple's "Anything We Want".
I'll stop making posts for individual tracks now. Perhaps this thread will encourage me to take a look back at 2012: The Year In Music. I haven't even considered making a favorite albums list yet.
These are the lists where, if people don't have some sort of ultra-catchy near-ubiquitous pop anthem on there, I'm going to judge them as elitist dickheads.
Well I don't think I have any that meet all those criteria (though Breezeblocks, Wildest Moments, Bright Whites, and Big Parade SHOULD meet them), but I still think it's pretty clear that this isn't an elitist list.
Actually thinking more about it, I should have done 50 like Zapp - that would have had Little Talks and Hey Ho on there. I also would have liked to add Anna Sun, but that actually came out last year. Oh and it would have moar Diplo influence.

First and only time I saw them was Bonnaroo 2011 from a picnic table 50 or so yards away. I was all set on getting close for theirs and Deerhunter's sets, but was completely incapacitated at that table for 3 or so hours. I alternated between puking my insides out and mustering the strength to keep my eyes open to watch their sets. Brilliant start to my first Bonnaroo.

Dude! I think I saw you. Do you remember a blond haired boy of about 9 laughing and pointing at you?

Oh god, I was embarrassed in front of Tom's family. I knew I shouldn't have said anything...
I mostly remember deep-fried oreos, my two friends suffering from a similar state, and Helicopter being one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.

God Helicopter was a spiritual experience.
