Do You Hear The Music?

Now this was a challenge for me because like the Top Songs of 2013, it was hard to narrow it down.  Below are a selection of albums I was really into this past year (really got into the Mikal Cronin, King Krule and Blood Orange albums later in the year) but I will say that Vampire Weekend’s – Modern Vampires of the City was hands down my top album of the year.  From start to finish I just can’t get enough of it.
