Person of The Year 2012: Candy. Every end of the year we are inundated with lists but none is as publicized as the “Person Of The Year”. There will be many discussions about this topic and they will all be useless. The musical community has spoken and that person is… CANDY. With several songs submitted in her favor: Chromatics – Candy and Lower Dens – Candy, as well as a bonus vote from Trailer Trash Tracys – Candy Girl, it was basically a landslide. Sorry, Leigh (and Betty Wang, Leonard, Laura, Nancy, Emmylou, Ramona, Andrew, and others). The same caucus elected Sharon Van Etten as “Artist Of The Year”, with three different songs named after guys: Leonard, Kevin, and Mike McDermott. Congrats to everyone!

Hey Girls. I made a mixtape to celebrate you W, I also made a gallery on Flickr. Don’t know if you heard, but yesterday was International Women’s Days. No one congratulated me, besides Twitter, of course. However, that doesn’t really count, as we all know everyone is just looking for an excuse to tweet. But why would they anyway? Being a woman is complete pain in the behind! I cannot think of a single pro to being a lady, except perhaps for taking special pride in seeing another woman succeeding in a man’s world. My first ever public Spotify playlist took on this very same theme. Several months ago, I created two playlists celebrating female musicians, almost exclusively from the indie scene. Yesterday, I took the opportunity to finish the third installment that is once again mostly centered around current releases. Volume III Volume II Volume I These are all different musicians so that’s a total of 100 female artists you could be listening to right now. Full tracklisting below: Volume III Grimes – Circumambient Nite Jewel – One Second of Love Iamamiwhoami – N The Golden Filter – Dance Around The Fire Tennis – Origins Hospitality – The Right Profession First Aid Kit – The Lion’s Roar Land Of Talk – Some Are Lakes Anika – Yang Yang U.S. Girls – Island Song Xray Eyeballs – X Bleech – Break My Nose Darkness Falls – Before The Light Takes Us - Original Mix Lesbians On Ecstasy – Tell Me Does She Love The Bass Class Actress – Love Me Like You Used To Niki & The Dove – Gentle Roar Body Language – Holiday School Of Seven Bells – The Night Widowspeak – Gun Shy Cameras – I Know Big Deal – Talk Julia Holter – Maria Trailer Trash Tracys – You Wish You Were Red Memoryhouse – The Kids Were Wrong Eleanor Friedberger – My Mistakes Planningtorock – Manifesto Keep Shelly In Athens – Our Own Dream Olga Kouklaki – Stop Exitmusic – The Sea Chairlift – Guilty As Charged I Break Horses – Wired Blouse – Firestarter Bleached – Electric Chair Novella – The Things You Do Esben and the Witch – Warpath Gazelle Twin – I Am Shell I Am Bone Chelsea Wolfe – Mer Veronica Falls – Right Side Of My Brain Still Corners – Cuckoo Katy B – Hard To Get Volume II Glasser – Apply Grouper – Alien Observer Florence + The Machine – Girl With One Eye Joan As Police Woman – Eternal Flame Caitlin Rose – Shanghai Cigarettes Cat’s Eyes – Over You Lower Dens – Rosie Day For Night – Badlands Lia Ices – Grown Unknown Tune-Yards – Real Live Flesh Frankie Rose and the Outs – Candy Marnie Stern – Every Single Line Means Something Dag För Dag – Ring Me, Elise Forget Cassettes – Venison Screaming Females – Bell Deerhoof – Panda Panda Panda Wildbirds & Peacedrums – There Is No Light Buke And Gass – Medulla Oblongata Bat For Lashes – What’s A Girl To Do?
