Fucking nice music too! I can hear Crass, I can hear Bikini Kill, I can hear Dutch insurrectionists The Ex … but most of all I can hear anger and determination and energy and bleakness and hope and a refusal to lie down and accept things as they are.

This was the year I became convinced that there wasn’t a secret world of great Australian music writing I simply wasn’t privy to.

These aren’t the best Australian songs of 2012. These are just songs I know you might not, but might like to.

Another year passes by! Another year filled with wonderful life affirming music, and yet another year with tepid uninspired lists filled with background music and exercises in mediocrity.
