Best Music of 2013 (Update)

I’ve updated my Best Music of 2013 lists to include where the songs and albums wound up in the WXPN and mvyradio countdowns.

Only one of my top 5 albums finished on mvyradio’s Top 25 list, and only one of my top 5 songs made the WXPN Top 200 list (although all of my #6-10 choices made it). I was particularly disappointed by the absence of K T Tunstall and She & Him from both lists – 3 Justin Timberlake songs made the WXPN countdown, for crying out loud. (Admittedly two of them are actually pretty good.)

Serendipity #3

This one is a little unusual, since Roy Rogers plays classic country songs and I had never heard this one before, but this is a great cover of a classic Steve Goodman song (with a shout-out to Steve in the middle).
