20 Albums that turned out to be great personal companions this year … (no specific order)
This year has been a pretty wild one. Rough and stressful many times, creative, happy and totally silly many other times. I’ve taken some very important steps in my life in the last twelve months and I am at the moment working on finally finishing my exams and bringing the whole Phasenmensch project to the next level. I am eager to see whats about to happen in 2013 and also think that 2012 has been a very strong year music wise. These following records have kept me going and turned out to be great companions while I was trying to go my way … Since tomorrow I have my final exam in philosophy, I’ll just let this list speak for itself furthermore:
