I'm already seeing albums I forgot to include on my long notable list: John Wizards, Wavves, Suuns, Sleeperhold (Holodeck Records kicks ass btw), EOD Vol 1 & 2

 

Part of me hopes 2014 will kinda suck so I can catch up with everything I missed this year. Only thing I know is coming in late 2013/early 2014 off the top of my head is like, I dunno, Riff Raff, VHS Head (maybe) and Burial.

Guys you forgot Random Access Memories

 

it's so real

it's such a statement

they're real musicians

(you can tell because they said it in all their interviews)

and new Burial

 

NEW new Burial? or Truant/Rough Sleeper which is technically a 2013 release?

Would add Truant/Rough Sleeper to the top of my overall list and i'm sure i could secure a spot for the new one there too but they're both EPs.
