Pretty good year in music (especially for non mainstream artists), and I'm excited to share
My Best of 2013. As always, I tried to include only songs and albums released during
the calendar year, but there were a few exceptions. Here's what I'm doing this year:
I'll post songs that didn't make the Top 50 in a bulk before starting the main thing.
Same here. With a few "close calls" posted in advance.

Dis gon be good. None of your faves are safe.
The Beyoncé situation
Well, my lists were finished and I was ready to start immediately, but dis bitch known as
Beyoncé decided to drop her album right at the end of the year. Now I'll need to take
some time to give it a proper listen before deciding where she lands on my lists.
Important:
I'm here only for quality discussion. I will probably not comment back on your countdown if all
you leave is comments like "7/10" or "worship/clap" smileys. That said, feel free to trash
any of my entries, argue over their placements or anything else you find amusing.
