So I've come to realization with this blog since my last post. I'm not the big wordy writer guy that most successful music blogs/music magazines have a million of. I have to really really work hard to come up with a paragraph review of an album or a song so that it kind of sounds like I know what I'm talking about. Frankly, I've read a lot of reviews and I get lost sometimes in their extremely wordy description. I think there can be a healthy medium. That's where my brother Matt comes in. He is the ultimate writer and can give the perfect description of what he's listening to and what they were influenced by without being overbearing. I, however, can simply say, "You should listen to this song because I think you'd like it". I think this gives the blog a much more rounded feel.
Anyway, now back to the purpose of the post....my favorite songs of 2013. Singles are interesting because when you hear one from a band you've never heard of and its reeeeeaaallly good, your expectations are incredibly high. So when you hear the rest of the album sometimes you are a bit disappointed and let down because you started with a '10' and even if the rest of the album is a '7', you find yourself going back to the best song. One of the ways I rate the songs is by how long it stays on my ipod. The higher up on the list, the longer its stayed in the rotation.
I apologize that there are no links to the songs. I'm trying to figure out how to listen to songs without linking them to YouTube. If you know of a way to listen to a song in a small music player I'm all ears.
