Top tunes
Once again, a New Year is only hours away. Every music blog posts an obligatory list of top songs of the year, so who am I to stray from that standard? I’m not going to base my choices off of record sales or any other marketable figures.

In February, they will be going on tour with Drive By Truckers.
