Favorite Songs of 2013 Playlist

...So Far, As Always

So I've started another one of these.  Same rules as last time.  What's that? I never told you about the rules?

1.  I'm only allowed one song per band / artist.
I have a tendency to obsess on things.  Without this restriction, I could just end up with a playlist consisting of my favorite albums of the year in their entirety.  The other thing that makes this fun is rule number...

2.  Once a song is on the list, it stays on the list.
This biases the list toward singles that come out prior to an album's release and away from "deep cuts" that could improve my mindie street cred, but it also prevents me from changing the list every time the mindie conventional wisdom goes against a song I liked when I first heard it.  The bigger problem with this rule is that as my tastes honestly change over the course of the year, I may end up being stuck with something I don't love.  I can always make up other playlists.

3.  The song has to be available on Spotify.
This one should be obvious.

Now that you know the rules that I've imposed upon myself, here are the first few of my favorite songs of this young year.  You can check back here to see any additions, or you can subscribe via Spotify.

Once again, I use Spotify for this because it's easy.  I'm not shilling for them or endorsing them; but if you don't have Spotify installed, I'm pretty sure this won't work for you.
