DoYouHearTheMusic.com – Top Tracks of 2013 (well a good amount of them)

2 Dec

Thanksgiving gave me a minute to sit back and have a little fun putting together a Top Tracks of 2013 playlist.  This clearly doesn’t include all of the great music that has filtered our ears this year but it is a collection of music that has been on rotation for me in 2013.   I tried not to duplicate artists (I could have gone on for days with whole albums from the likes of Vampire Weekend, Cayucas, White Denim, Bastille, etc.) so I hope you like this playlist which should keep you going for hours and perfect for some holiday road trips.

 

Cheers!

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 16 Days – Childish Gambino

9 Oct

Taking a break from acting, focusing back on music and just posted that the new album is wrapped, this should make for an epic performance from Childish Gambino. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform a handful of times and he’s never disappointed and a suspect Life is Beautiful will be a wild one!
