I have my party hat on, which can mean only one thing... It's the best tracks of 2012! Numbers 25 down to (that all important) number one. Hooray!
For the first three weeks of December the listeners to the Edinburgh Man Podcast have voted in their hundreds (yes, really) for their favourite three tracks that were played on the show throughout 2012. This isn't meant to be a definitive best of the year poll, however fame and fortune (*) await the winners - just ask The Spook School who won in 2011, and The Last Battle who were 2010's victors.
Who will be crowned the king(s) and/or queen(s) of the Edinburgh Man Poll for this year and be worthy of wearing the foil crown? Well, you could probably peak at the playlist below and figure it out, but why not listen to 2 hours of the best music of the year. Trust me, there's some pretty decent stuff in here.
