Best Albums Of 2013

Okay, that’s a pretty grandiose statement for anyone to make. No matter what publication you write, or don’t write, for. This is honestly just my yearly faves list. The albums released that just did it for me. Not in any particular order really. I don’t honestly think much will surprise anyone, but check it out!
The one thing I will say is that, at least in my life, Topshelf Records is really the label that hit it out of the park. So many great releases this year! Label of the year! I SAID IT!
And my usual disclaimer of PLEASE PURCHASE THESE RECORDS IF YOU LIKE THE MUSIC YOU HEAR. Thank you. <3

Best of 2010

So to be completely honest, I feel like kind of a loser with this years “Best Of” list. Last year it seemed like I covered so much! Not only that, but I had a whole separate post of albums I forgot on my first list. I guess the whole idea was kind of epic. At least for me. haha. Either I wasn’t as into music this past year, or I just wasn’t that into a lot of what came out. So here are my faves for the year 2010. It probably is feasible that I will remember stuff that I dug after I post this. That seems to be my way. But enjoy this for now. And as always, if you enjoy the music you hear, please seek it out and purchase it!
