MOMENTS of 2012

- pretty much all the ad libs (or "ad libs") on the dirty projectors album
- the moment on the swans live album where "beautiful child" shifts from melodramatic beautiful intro to kill-everyone death-stomp
- when the big synths swell up on the title track on the killer mike album during the intro
- a bunch of little moments on the lone album where he references (consciously or unconsciously) like the actual sounds of the shitty recording of old rave tunes (i swear there's a dead rip of the woozy tape warp thing from "secret summer fantasy" on there)

1) the reverb on the snare when the drums snap back in
2) the bassline modulation
3) "look up, sugar"
4) the way he leans into the word "world"
5) the "just let" that really soars
6) the "you got to know" that he really bites down on
7) the falsetto, yeah
8) the emphasis on "looked" on "love ain't never looked so good"
9) the way he drifts just behind the beat on "oh put it on, baby," which is highlighted really well in that Bad Boy remix where the beat keeps going
10) the echo that envelops that final sublime "let my love adorn..."
11) that tiny, perfect spoken "you" that most radio stations cut off or start another song over
