"Really Good Shit: 2013"

This is a collection of songs that I listened to many times during 2013. Some are new, some are new discoveries, and some are songs from my past that I rediscovered.
Below is the complete track list of this compilation along with the reasons why I listened to each track so much. Thanks to social media, a lot of friends introduced me to some great stuff without even knowing it.

    Disc 1  
1 "Glass" I still love all things MØ. This was her first new song released in 2013 along with a video. I just wish she would finally release something in the US. Everything has been in Denmark only which is a pain in the ass.
2 "I've Seen Footage" Death Grips I finally caught up with the albums that Death Grips had released since I first heard the "mixtape" called Exmilitary. Though I downloaded 3 albums at once, I started with Money Store and listened to it so obsessively that I haven't even gotten to the other two albums yet. This song is just the best.
3 "Breakfast Song" Gold Lip This is another song that I heard first on fuckyouverymuch.dk. It's not even a music blog, but usually when they post something that is a music video I usually like it. They are apparently reading my mind. This song seems to originally have been a couple of musicians who got together and made this one song. They even changed the name of the "group" a couple of times since initally posting it. You can find the video here.
4 "Welcome" Balam Acab I heard of this album because Grimes had suggested it in her "What's In My Bag" video. She is obviously very young and kind of a doofus, but she was right on with this suggestion!
5 "Folk Hero Schtick" Yeasayer Though I got this album in 2012 when it was released, I listened to it a lot in 2013 and this was my favorite song. Not quite as strong as the previous album, but it's still worth your time.
