Philip Clark Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Would love to hear what's at the top of some of your lists? Best Songs? Best For Sale? Best For Free? I'll post mine if y'all post yours.

hurricane hugo Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 For most of the year, my AOTY was looking like it was going to be Silence Yourself by Savages...but Austra's Olympia has overtaken it these last couple of weeks. This song was the first single from it: [video:youtube] The year's most pleasant surprise to me has been very strong new albums from 5 of industrial (or at least industrial-esque) music's veteran bands: Front Line Assembly, NIN, Skinny Puppy, Filter and a complete jawdropper from VNV Nation. I also love every song I've heard by that girl Lorde; on the other end of the age spectrum, David Bowie came back with some greatness. Free songs? Well, Peter Gabriel just posted a finally-completed song from the So sessions called "Courage," and it's like whoa. http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana. Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 My favorite album this year is by a band called SISU. It's called Blood Tears and is full of dark beauty and cool synthy textures. http://9rm52pnjcvdzcxx3.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Recommended-Album-Review-SISU-Blood-Tears.jpg [video:youtube] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Free songs? Well, Ptere Gabriel just posted a finally-completed song from the So sessions called "Courage," and it's like whoa. Holy shit. That's awesome. I agree. [video:youtube] However I can see why it was left off "So". Just doesn't fit the vibe of that record. Red Rain still gives me chills 25 plus years later.

CEB Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Not much for me this year. 2012 was a good year. Ludovico Einaudi 'In a Time Lapse' was this year. Nice chill out record or something to put on if I feel like doing a kata workout to music. [video:youtube] Valentina'a Rach Concertos was nice but I didn't like some of the tempo but evidently the conductor was trying to be very exact as to how Rach wanted them done. I was going to say Vadim Gluzman's Bach Partita album but that was last year. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Mark Zeger Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Wayne Shorter "Without a Net" is probably Jazz Album of the Year.

Dana. Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm also loving Who Is William Onyeabor? by the Nigerian funk artist William Onyeabor.

Joe Muscara Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Some of my favorites from 2013 include Tedeschi Trucks Band - Made Up Mind Dumpstaphunk - Dirty Word There's another, but I won't mention it. I also like the new Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, but neither of them has any track that's really "sticking." I enjoy listening to them, though. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
