If you're not already sick of year-end best-of list, then you're a patient soul. We're not going to bore you with our own Best of 2012 lists this year, especially not when you've got more important things to do right now - like stand in line at the LCBO. After all, Wavelength has our own "best of the year" list in the works - and that's the line-up for our big 13th anniversary celebrations, the Wavelength Music Festival 13, coming up February 14-17, 2013 at an array of west-end venues. Watch this space on Monday January 7th for the big announcement.

In the meantime, we turn it over to our pal Jesse Locke of the Weird Canada blog, who has assembled the most awesomely titled mix of the Best Toronto Music of 2012... "IKEA Monkey Doin' Thangs"! With tracks by a slew of Wave-faves - including U.S. Girls, Tenderness, Slim Twig, Sexy Merlin, HVYWTR, Kanada 70, Man Made Hill, The Soupcans, Thighs, Doc Dunn, Not The Wind, Not The Flag, Isla Craig and Black Walls (phew!) - it's the perfect think to slip on in the background if you need to liven up that house party tonight.
