So it’s that time of the year again, where we’re putting together our year-end lists for our picks for best local albums, local songs, and live shows of 2012. Just like last year, we want to hear what you have to say about things. You can leave your favorite picks in the replies, or email them to music@smilepolitely.com, whichever you’d wish. We’ll look them over and put our list together.
It’s nice to gauge the community to see what they are digging, because we don’t catch everything all the time. Remember, 2012 releases and shows only, we appreciate your input. We’ll need your picks by the end of the weekend (Sunday, December 9) before we shut things down and put this thing together. We’ll consider everyone’s picks, but the music editors ultimately will put the lists together.
