As we come to the close of 2013, and I am a geek of the manly persuasion, it’s list time! I’ve compiled a selection my favorite sounds and reads from the past twelve lunar cycles. The twenty albums I have chosen were all released during the year while the twenty-five books happen to be the stories that moved me the most whether they are brand spanking or have a few flecks of dust on their jackets. Since it was difficult enough to slim down and make choices for my lists of favorites, I put them all in alphabetical order rather than top to bottom.
I’m certain you all have your picks from the year. Please feel free to share/debate/argue/praise/dismiss!

I hope there are some new things here that you enjoy
