Greetings, honorable ones. The second-year anniversary of this blog was in November 2012. I would’ve posted my index then, but I was high. Today I rectify that error. I see you shiver in antici – Say it! – pation.
It is my humble hope that something I’ve written here has led you to a greater understanding of and appreciation for popular music. If not, too bad. I’m too busy listening to music that you can’t understand or appreciate to pay attention to you. Anyway, nevermind the bollocks, here’s the Index to Year 2, and thanks as always for not setting me on fire.
