Favorite Tracks of 2013
Now, my little blog is certainly no Pitchfork, but at the end of each year, I like to look back at all my playlists from past 12 months and cobble together my top 25 or so favorite tunes. You can find them ranked worst to first below, and you can listen to the whole thing over on Spotify. Also, in case you care, my favorite album from 2013 was Foxygen's We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, it wasn't even that close, so...go get that.
