The Best of 2013
Much like 2009, there was a LOT of music listening going on in my life. Chalk that up to lengthy road trip preparation (and therefore obsessive playlist making), or going to a record number of concerts. There's a list inside this link, and a Spotify playlist for what is available online as well. Happy listening!
