These are my Top 10 Tracks 2013. I wanted to get this list in before the end of year but after Davers post (which was awesome btw). If you ask me in like three weeks what my Top 10 Tracks 2013 edition were, it could be totally different, but in the moment right now..these are the 10 best tracks.
2013 TRACK OF THE YEAR: FOALS “Inhaler”
The track “Inhaler” is off FOALS third studio album Holy Fire. The tune overlaps late 2012 and early 2013, first surfacing in early November 2012. “Inhaler” was released as a single in mid December 2012 and provided quite an appetizer leading up to the much-anticipated release of Holy Fire on February 12. I’ve not only included it on my 2013 list, but named it the track of the year, my list my rules.
The funky bass, dueling guitars, and Yannis’ powerful vocals all gradually buildup to an epic indie rock explosion of sound, unlike anything FOALS had to offer up until that point.
This was fun, albums next.

Ariel Pink & Sky Ferreira Remake “My Molly”
Ariel Pink and Sky Ferreira have teamed up to record a new version of the song “My Molly.” The tune is originally from Mr. Pink’s 2006 EP of the same name, check out the video below.
Furthermore, Ms. Ferreira recently commented on her NSFW album cover that features her topless.
Here’s what Sky had to say:
“You’re supposed to sell your body in a way that’s like… it’s OK to be sexy when it benefits everyone else. Most of the people who had a problem with it were men. At this point, I feel like I’m doing a bad job of being a feminist if I’m not making someone angry.”
“But I’m making art and doing things that are true to my work,” she continued. “I’m not trying to sell my body. But it’s my body to sell if I did want to! This kind of cover isn’t even what sells – what sells is your face, shot by a fashion photographer, but I didn’t want to do something like that. I do that all the time.”
The debut LP titled Night Time, My Time is definitely worth a listen. I noticed iTunes is spreading the yuletide spirit by offering it for $6.99 this week.

Frank Black’s Reaction To Shattuck Firing, “Big Woop-Dee-Doo”
Pixies frontman Frank Black has broken the silence regarding recently fired touring bassist Kim Shattuck. In an interview with Yahoo Music, Charles Thompson had this to say:
The big question mark is, if it was going so well, why are you changing it up again? I guess it’s a fair question, but what I would say is, just because some shows went well or a recording session went well with somebody, that doesn’t mean that now you guys are married and this is forever. It’s not really how it works when you’re a band. And it’s hard to explain to people, especially if they get emotionally attached to one person…
Frankly, you don’t want to explain it to anybody – it’s a lot of its personal, private shit. It’s like politics and sports and people’s personal lives have all been smeared together in this modern world. It’s a very presumptuous attitude about a lot of things. [People say] ’Oh you’re shifting something in your world – we demand a statement as to why.’ I’m not the mayor, this isn’t the bus service for a town. This is a rock band. There’s been a shift in the lineup, big woop-dee-doo…as far as we’re concerned it ain’t that big of a deal.
If you’re beginning to feel like the Pixies are in the news every other day, that’s because they are. How Fun! The track “Indie Cindy” from the EP-1, was recently named as the 30th best track of 2013 by GoINDEEpMusic.
