Guest Low Roller Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was completely disappointed with Yeezus (and Magna Carta Holy Grail for that matter), and I'm glad Kanye didn't get AOTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Magna Carta Holy Grail was crap. I liked Yeezus but definitely not his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 While the e.p. containing it just came out, I think my favorite song of the year is Springsteen's Drive All Night as covered by Glen Hansard with Eddie Vedder and Jake Clemons. If this doesn't move you, nothing will. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) The highlight of my 2013 musical listenings is that I finally got into vinyl (acquired a nice little set up with the help of all of you). So I have been happily collecting and listening vinyl gems that are mostly old stuff. It has been awesome. Nevertheless, here is what I can muster from 2013:Top new albums of 2013Swearin' - Surfing Strange .... One of my only 'new finds' of the year, they sound kind of garage-rock-ish I think.. I have to listen to it again. I am looking forward to actually getting into it. They're coming to Toronto mid-March. http://www.npr.org/2013/10/27/240578154/first-listen-swearin-surfing-strangeDoug Paisley - Golden Embers ... This is a 5-song EP by Toronto folk guy Doug Paisley, who kind of reminds me of Bonnie Prince Billy in sound (a bit folk, a bit bluegrass) and earnestness. It features Leslie Feist on vocals and John Showman (New Country Rehab / Crazy Strings / Creaking Tree String Quartet) on fiddle. Really mellow and pretty. http://www.cameronhouserecords.com/doug-paisleys-golden-embers-finally-gets-canadian-release/Yo La Tengo - Fade .... I was underwhelmed by the two YLT shows I saw in 2013, but enjoy the album.Hayden - Us AloneNeko Case - The Worse Things Get...2013 albums that I am looking forward to checking out still:The Sadies - Darker CirclesFiver - Lost the PlotBoards of Canada - Tomorrow's HarvestArcade Fire - ReflektorBonobo - The North BordersAlbums to look forward to in 2014:- new Daniel Lanois- new The Hold Steady Edited January 3, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
