discovering new music is one of my favorite things to do .. this year, i found some great new artists to follow, like Angus and Julia Stone, Quilt, Temples. and Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (pictured above at the Crocodile). Then there have been some amazing albums from favorites like Beck, Tennis and First Aid Kit.
