During my second attempt at a podcast I discussed an array of topics. Got kind of emotional in the middle. Most importantly, I shared some great tunes!
1. Velta - "Cheat On Me" free MP3 download
2. Hidden Hospitals - "Controlled Chaos" free MP3 download
3. Terrible Things - "Up At Night"
4. Thursday - "Understanding In A Car Crash"
5. Moving Mountains - "Tired Tiger"
6. MC Lars - "iGeneration"
7. Every Time I Die - "Revival Mode"
8. Refused - "Liberation Frequency"
9. Glassjaw - "Vanilla Poltergeist Snake"

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Feels like I'm getting the hang of this recording/editing stuff. I'm trying to put an episode out weekly. Also if you'd like to record an intro for a future episode, holla atcha girl!

*episode #2 intro by TheZachAttack. Music by Ant Masington & Josh Eppard.

Here, I will constantly amend what will eventually become my personal end of year list, as such this is designed not to critique music, but to narrate my own reaction towards it. Please feel free to recommend me other albums and EPs I haven't listed here, I want to listen to as much new music as possible.

ALBUMS

127. Silent Descent - Mind Games
As soon as I saw the album cover, I knew this was going to be pretty terrible, but I decided to give it a listen anyway. A favourite from my shameful days where I would listen to deathcore, metalcore and trancecore, Silent Descent play a style of metalcore which incorporates trance-like synths. And unsurprisingly, on the first track they have also bought into the dubstep fad. I've grown out of this music for a reason, and sometimes it takes a reflective listen years later to realise this; for this reason Mind Games has been excellently bad.
126. Meshuggah - Koloss
As the band who influenced the 'Djent' trend, Meshuggah have always been one of the more respected metal bands about…

Hey all! So we've got a bot in the room now, well since about Christmas. She's @bestroomontt and collects stats for us, as well as spits out some useful information.

Is there a noob in the room? Type "/intro" and she'll post the link to a helpful guide

Really into a song being played? Type "/ro" or "/rockout"
Once that command is typed by 3 different people, she'll begin to bop her head and award the DJ a bonus point!

Some of the stats she collects are the top 10 most awesomed songs, as well as the top 10 most played songs.

This is what the standings were on February 1st, 2012

As with just about every year, there were way too many albums I loved for me to keep the list small.
