This is not a countdown

Here it is: my last episode of 2013, split below into two mp3s. Of course, 2 hours wasn't nearly enough time to play everything I wanted, but I think I managed put together a decent range of genres and artists. The show includes some heavy hitters as well as some newer material that never really seemed to fit within my regular, indie-rock-saturated playlists. Basically, you'll hear me saying so-and-so had a "big year" a few too many times.

Overall, it's a mix of some of my favourite tracks of the year and some of the music that's going be buzzing from now till Christmas. I'm not going to go through the whole line-up like I usually do when I post an episode, but I do want to give a shout out to some of the artists that could've just as easily thrown into mix (and, in retrospect, probably should have --- I mean, do we really need more people playing Daft Punk?). Follow the links to check out White Poppy, The Dodos, Lab Coast, Doug Hoyer, Anamie, Hooded Fang, Bill Callahan, Crosss, Frog Eyes, Alex Calder, Palehound, Shotgun Jimmie, and I could keep going.

Next year, I'm gunning for a three hour finale.
