RADIO ULNA: Mix 12 - Best of the Year, part 1

What a tremendous year 2013 has been for music -- new tunes from across the pond like Savages and Chvrches!; My Bloody Valentine releases a sequel to "Loveless" 22 YEARS LATER!; Guided By Voices calmed down and only released 1 album with some halfway decent music; immortals and lesser-knowns bought the farm and left us with fond/melancholy/joyful memories of the tunes that got us through "those times" This list isn't meant to be all-inclusive or indicative of "the best," so calm your tits. Honestly, I'm trying to beat the cut and post mine before the web implodes with lists. Take this with a grain of salt. It's just a taste of some of the music you may have missed, or disliked, or loved, or got over. So yeah, here's part 1 of my 2013 Albums worth checking out. Part 2 will be out later this month.

As always, thanks for litening!
