My first playlist of 2013 is here. There are new albums from Frightened Rabbit, Imogen Heap, The Joy Formidable, and more. After teasing some tracks at SXSW last March, Pillowfight (Dan the Automator & Emily Wells) is out with their debut LP. I’m especially loving the new tracks from Telekinesis, BellaMaine, Hey Marseilles, and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down.

Music was a huge part of my life this year, especially going to see live shows. I managed to see over 60 different bands on stage in 2012, which has to be a personal record for me. There were too many great performances to name them all, but some highlights for me: getting to see Of Monsters and Men, Blitzen Trapper, & Polica up front in tiny venues at SXSW. M.Ward in a church in Austin. Alabama Shakes at the Moody Theater. Pillow Fight (Dan The Automator/Emily Wells/Kid Koala) with 20 people in a bar. M83 and The XX both in Seattle’s gorgeous Paramount Theater. Passion Pit, The Lumineers, & Metric at Key Arena. And wrapping it up with a high energy Macklemore & Ryan Lewis show in San Francisco.

We also have some great singles from Rhye, Holy Ghost!, and Local Natives. Enjoy!
