My Favorites of the Year So Far as of March 2014



It's time for couple lists. I decided to compile my favorite songs and albums that I've heard so far this year. I worked this up in the last few hours so it might change drastically by the end of the year. Some great political music from Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, along with St. Vincent and Have a Nice Life. An Autumn for Crippled Children's "black gaze" has captivated me most thus far, along with Mirah's awesome track "Oxen Hope." It has been a fruitful year, I hope the trend of dopeness continues. Each list is in rough order from sickest to quite sick. No apologies for the slang.
