Hello Tumblr followers. I haven't been on in a long time. I recently started a Wine Review Blog where I write reviews on affordable wines ($10-$35 roughly). I made a tumblr for it to promote it there. This is my first review. The website is http://www.vinestovalue.com . Follow me on Twitter @vinestovalue . - Matt

Top 20 Albums Of 2013
Top 20
1. Kanye West - Yeezus This album deserves all of the hype. Not much to say. I love this album through and through. Unbeatable production work.
2. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires In The City As does this one. Always enjoyed the band, but never loved an album. This one I adore.
3.Local Natives - Hummingbird Plenty of folks think this one is not as good as the first one. I find it better. It has a much better flow and consistency. More minimalistic too. The first album feels more like a handful of singles that don't flow well and some bland songs surrounding them. That album has probably their best songs, but it is not their best album.
4. Pokey LaFarge - Pokey LaFarge Love this band. Great live show. If you like roots American music check this out NOW.
5. Enemies - Embark Embrace This album is just a blast front to back. If you like instrumental based music in the vein of earlier Fang Island, Minus The Bear, Ghosts & Vodka, Marvins Revolt then you should get this.
6. Deafheaven - Sunbather I have listened to this album so many times this year. It feels so raw and epic. Pretty much the only heavy music with screaming I have listened to this year.
7. Pretty & Nice - Golden Rules for Golden People My favorite local Boston band put out their best album and are getting the recognition they deserve. Love this band. Get this album and go see them.
8. A Great Big Pile Of Leaves - You're Always On My Mind This is the album I have been listening to the most recently. RIYL: Minus The Bear, Foals, projects by Kinsella family members.
9. The National - Trouble Will Find Me As moody as ever and more of the same, but it works. Some real gems on this one.
10. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II One of the first albums I listened to this year and it still holds up. Great recording, great melodies and very consistent. I need to see this band live.
11. Russian Circles - Memorial
12. Foxing - The Albatross
13. Bonobo - The North Borders
14. Chance The Rapper - Acid Rap
15. Daft Punk Random Access Memories
16. Lucius - Wildewoman
17. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away
18. Lite - Installation
19. Sigur Ros - Kvelkur
20. Speedy Ortiz - Major Arcana
Best EP
Toe - The Future Is Now
Other albums I have enjoyed
Mayer Hawthorne - Where Does This Door Go James Blake - Overgrown Strawberry Girls - French Ghetto Olafur Arnalds - For Now I am Winter Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse Jim James - Regions of Light and Sound of God The Cave Singers - Naomi Camera Obscura - Desire Lines Houndmouth - From The Hills Blow Dawes - Stories Don't End The Physics House Band - Horizons Rapture Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Probably a bunch that I am missing too.
Enjoy. If you have any recommendations based upon this please let me know.
