      Nice list. It really has been a great first half for music. I'm not looking forward to changing my list, but I can't wait to see what other albums/artists I discover this year.

    Good stuff! I must have overlooked that Kavinsky pick. Great choice from Bowie LP, loved that track too.
    Nuclear Seasons is fantastic(in December I decided to list it as a 2012 song despite on her 2013 album)

    Second half of 2013, I'm looking forward to: Tales of Us - Goldfrapp, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, David Lynch's new album Big Dream, and Only God Forgives soundtrack

      Thanks! Nuclear Seasons is probably my favorite track from True Romance, but I can listen to her album over and over.

      Ooh, I forgot about Goldfrapp's new album. Can't wait for that!

    Duude I cannot get into the new Daft Punk. It just... I can't do it. I'm going to give it a few more listens, but I really wasn't feeling it.

    Yeezus on the other hand... wow, love it.

      I couldn't get into the new Daft Punk on the first listen, but it's grown on me. Yeezus was the same story. Actually, I could see Yeezus moving higher by year's end.
