THE BEST MUSIC OF 2013: THE COUNTDOWN


Lamp, broken circa 1988

Recommended Posts

This is no way to do a DVDVR "best of" list! The house method is to trickle out the results, a few posts a day, for about four to five days, and then mysteriously disappear for a week or so.

 

And then post a couple more times, maybe getting up to the top twenty. And then maybe give up and ask someone else to post the rest. Damn your efficiency!

THIS HEART'S ON FIRE, THIS HEART'S ON FIRE, THIS HEART'S ON FIRE, THIS HEART'S ON FIRE

 

 

I'm trying to avoid editorializing too much, but I did feel a little pride when I saw Janelle Monae place higher than fuckin' yeezus.

 

Anyways, the full list is posted (in spoiler tags) in the first post now.

I was more enthusiastic about 2013 music during 2013. Now I feel more like there was a whole shitload of good stuff, but not as much great stuff as I previously thought.

 

Nothing is as shit-kickingly awesome as that Big Business album, though.
