It's that time of year. Time to compile a list of the music that makes up the soundtrack of my 2013. As always, it's not a "best of" list, but rather the music that I've gone back to again and again. At one point, I thought I'd be able to limit myself to a top 10. Ha! Whittling it down to 20 was as hard as ever. I didn't include some awesome albums. Langhorne Slim & The Law brings me back to summer. I love Neko Case's album. I might listen to that one more if she didn't yell out, "Get the fuck away from me!" during one of the choruses. Can't really listen to that in front of the kids. I'm also digging Minor Alps at the moment. Sarah Jarosz and The Civil Wars are as beautiful as ever. And I'm still getting to know Daughter, along with many 2012 releases I just discovered this year, like Father John Misty. So I guess consider those my runners up.
