Grand Prize Winner For This Year

Father John Misty / J Tillman at Terminal West, October 18, 2012

It's New Year's Eve, the traditional date for posting a "Best of 2012" for whatever category in which one is interested.  Best album of 2012?  Best song of 2012?  Best concert of 2012?  Best book of 2012?  Best interpretive dance of 2012?

I don't have it in me to make a Top 10 list for any of these.  Yesterday's Top 10 Concerts of 2012 included 14 shows, and didn't even include the winner of all of the above categories:

Best Concert of 2012:  Father John Misty, Terminal West, Atlanta, October 18
Best Album of 2012:  Fear Fun, Father John Misty
Best Song of 2012:  Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Father John Misty
Best Book of 2012: The voluminous liner notes to Fear Factor by Father John Misty
Best Interpretive Dance of 2012:  Father John Misty, various moments during October 18 performance at Terminal West


The coveted Water Dissolves Music Grand Prize for 2012, therefore, goes to . . . Father John Misty.
