Guest List 2012

To finish up my end of the year lists, I've asked some friends for their highlights of the year as well. After all, music is best when enjoyed with friends and these are the people I go to for recommendations or who I try to convince to go and see Lightning Bolt with me at 1:00 AM on a Thursday. Thanks so much for participating and thanks to everyone who read omg-nyc this year. See you in 2013.
