My Ten Favorite Albums of 2013

10. "Dream River," Bill Callahan
Baritone songs that turn your soul into a puzzle that you cannot wait to reassemble.

9. "Paracosm," Washed Out
Bells ring, Chimes chime, and Washed Out washes away space and time.

8. "Push the Sky Away," Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
The mustache is gone, but Hannah Montana is here to stay.

7. "Random Access Memories," Daft Punk
Robots return to form with friends and files that you thought you had sent to the Recycle Bin years ago.

6. "Reflektor," Arcade Fire
It was dark in the disco when I realized I missed my home in the suburbs.

5. "Wakin' on a Pretty Daze," Kurt Vile
What happens when you mix one part De Ja Vu with one part nostalgia?

4. "Muchacho," Phosphorescent
Weariness is a burning thing. That's ok because, I've been tired, too.


3. "Trouble Will Find Me," The National
 We didn't have to smoke forever. And we didn't have to scream forever.

2. "mbv," My Bloody Valentine
The past is a beautiful thing. 

1. "Modern Vampires of the City," Vampire Weekend
I'm almost surprised, as well.
