My Top 50 Songs of 2013 (#1)

"This Disorder" by The Features

Two years ago, The Features were featured on one of the first mPlayer samplers from Paste.  I liked the song enough to keep it.  This summer, while I was compiling songs for newgazzi Vol 4, I stumbled upon their new self-titled album.  I sampled each song, and kept coming back to this one.  As much as I thought I liked it when I first heard it, I've come to actually like the song more and more with each listen.  I did some checking, and as it turns out, this is the most played song on my iPod of any song I've featured on newgazzi since I started the playlists in February.  I can't see a day where I ever get sick of hearing it.  That fucking bass line.  Pelham's vocals (which remind me a bit of Billy Squier), everything, it all works.  My favorite song of 2013 ...

"Sacrilege" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Three versions of this song for you ... the original video, the video in reverse, and the appearance on Letterman.  For what it's worth, this song, and the next three songs were all considered for #1 on my list this year.

Yes, a country song is #6 on my best of 2013 list.  No, the blog has not been taken hostage.
