Still awaiting all your nominations for our 2012 MISCmedia In/Out list. Reply in the comments area below, you trendspotters you.

• Ex-Wall Street operative Michael Thomas says in Newsweek’s foreign editions that Wall Street has “destroyed the wonder that was America.”
• The author of a new Karl Marx bio insists the ol’ Prussian nerd has ideas still worth discussing today; such as his theory that the “haves” of capital would keep getting richer and fewer until the larger society they stand upon threatens to crumble.
• One of 2011’s more unsung passings: the guy credited with writing Spy magazine’s always positive, publicist-friendly movie reviews.
• Of all the hard to design graphic products in the world, I can’t think of one more challenging (yet once ubiquitous) than the 45 record label. Yet, as the hereby linked gallery shows, hundreds of great designs have been made that still incorporate linear text on a round surface with that huge center blank space.
