Hoary Ears and Quills Awakening,

As I researched a recent project, I was listening to a compilation of the best of the year’s pop albums; I had already begun constructing my list of favourite songs of 2012, so I used the radio countdown to inflate my own. I’m quite proud of my list, which I intend to use as a point of reference for future decisions on whether to buy an album or buy a ticket.

To create the list and the project’s output at the same time, I was relatively pleased with myself, but I know that I really should only have used up half the duration and arrived at the latter.
