Favorite Song 2013

I love electronics and experimentation as much as the next WATMMer, but nothing moves me like a perfectly crafted pop song. When I heard this on the Breaking Bad promo, it gave me chills. That's always a sign I like something.

Cold Earth

james blake - to the last

(not sure why exactly, but this song just sounds perfect to me. i think it's my favorite because of the state of mind I was in when I heard it. I still hear something in it that I'm not sure is even there.)

Bibio - You Won't Remember...

It's my most played track this year so that means it must be the best.

Of all the amazing stuff released this year, there is one that has conquered the #1 track of the year position by far:

Parallel Jalebi

He has that effect on me too. I felt the same way when I heard "Wilhelm Scream" originally. There are so many imitators and/or peers (all that brooklyn PBR&B comes to mind - how to dress well, autre ne veut, weeknd) that don't come close to his singing and song arrangement.

Nice chopped & screwed version:
