All Songs Considered Top 25 Albums 2012 (Listener's Picks) Podcast
Listener Picks: Your Favorite Albums Of 2012
NPR listeners picked Mumford And Sons' Babel as their favorite record for 2012.
Babel, by Mumford & Sons, is the listener pick for the 2012 album of the year. It didn't come out until this fall, but managed to climb quickly as the favorite, at least among those who voted in our year-end poll. It's followed closely by Of Monsters And Men, Alabama Shakes, Jack White and Grizzly Bear in the top five.
As you work your way through the rest of the most popular records you'll probably see a lot that you love, and you'll also likely find some that leave you scratching your head. That's the beauty of what happens when you have a large and wonderfully diverse group of voters with a broad range of tastes.
On this week's All Songs Considered we countdown through the top 25 most popular records from our listener poll.

NPR Best songs of the Year so Far (Podcast)
Podcast from NPR's excellent All Songs Considered Podcast.
The biggest surprise of the year? Bob is into a Swedish pop song with the lyrics "You're from the 70's/but I'm a 90's b*tch." This week on All Songs Considered, Co-Hosts Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton are joined by NPR Music's Stephen Thompson and Ann Powers
to take a step back, catch their breaths and consider the past six
months of music. They share their favorite new artists, biggest
surprises, favorite albums and songs of 2012, so far.
Second to Bob's unexpected pop pick: the heated discussion on Carly Rae Jepson's sugary song of the summer "Call Me Maybe". This week's show features a batch of poptimistic, feel-good songs (along with a few tracks better heard alone in a dark, quiet room.) These favorite songs of the year are not necessarily the most delicately crafted, but the "awesomeist" songs. Particularly awesome is Japandroids' rebellious "Fire's Highway," with a shout-to-the-heavens chorus and brash guitar and drums. Bob and Robin's favorite new artist of the year so far, Kishi Bashi, uses layers and loops to create a radiant, uplifting soundscape in the song "Bright Whites."
Another theme of the year seemed to be artists who've been around for a while, like Sinead O'Connor and Bobby Womack, and made the list with triumphant comeback albums. Fiona Apple's record, The Idler Wheel...
You can listen to the entire discussion above and each track discussed below.

The Matchless Love and In-being of God - Sermon by Richard Sibbes read by Dave Bish
from Dave Bish's blog:
I've blogged through The Matchless Love & In-being this summer here, so I thought I'd read/preach it for you if listening is easier than reading. Download: Richard Sibbes - The Matchless Love & In-being, Sermon 1, 65mins - read by Dave Bish
It's long, and in places a bit dense and hard to follow, but oh is it sweet!
I'm modernising the text a bit, latest version of that is here PDF: The Matchless Love & In-being. Even having 'preached' it I'm aware of more edits to make it more accessible, so I'll aim to update the text again next week.
