Post your favourite single track of 2012 and a youtube link

Just one per post ... per person ideally

After months and months of hearing this it still hits the spot every time
and I'm massively looking forward to their debut LP in March

Jessie Ware - Running (Disclosure mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1vnZOTFFRk

Hoping this thread will throw up some gems I may have missed over the year

post your pick

David Tattersall - The Sunshine Hotel

http://soundcloud.com/wiaiwya/david-tattersall-the-sunshine

It's not on YouTube but here's the SoundCloud link. This track blew me away when I first heard it on Riley, still my favourite of the year though thumbs up for Godspeed & Japandroids too.

chopstick | 29 Nov '12, 13:08 | X | ^ This | Reply
- This release completely passed me by
  
  I'm going to need to take a look at my life's priorities when a Wave Pictures related release passes me by. Off to purchase it now.
  
  David Tattersall really is a relentlessly productive individual with a remarkably high quality control. I heard about a Jason Molina covers album in the pipeline which would be excellent (as was the Springsteen covers album released a couple of years ago).
  
  Now Jimmy Saville has been demoted in the public's affections creating a vacancy in the national treasure department, there is definitely a case for promoting David. THE CAMPAIGN STARTS HERE. Who's with me?

Hot Chip - Flutes

The best thing they've ever done (off probably their best album to date too). Utterly hypnotic, it builds and builds and then drops away so beautifully and so cleanly at the five minute mark. I've listened to this song so much more than any others this year, it's embarrassing.

I mean the answer is probably Hood, yeah

Certainly the bed-wetting anthem of the year. I'd love to say Books by Tall Ships but the original version was released two years ago so not technically a 2012 tip. So anyway yeah COP A LOAD OF THIS INSTEAD (Dan Deacon)

Best beat of the year hands down. Really uplifting hometown anthem. Great chorus hook. The DaVinci verse is a thing of beauty.

Clyde Carson - Slow Down

My fav slap of 12 anyway. A two-note tuba stab and an escalating synth line is about all I need in life. The hook is a major earworm as well.

Chairlift - I Belong in Your Arms

Generally I find this bands output a bit rubbish, but this is a great example of what makes a track of the year for me, a band whose output never grabs you, just getting it all totally right.
