POP Goes The Fat Lady

O.k., by now we've all read the end of the year Best Of 2013 music lists from all the reliable tastemaker sources (Paste, Magnet, NPR, CMJ, Pitchfork, etc...), and, as per usual, the same handful of albums get mentioned on most of the lists. (btw- if you'd like to know they compile these VERY SCIENTIFIC end of the year lists, here's the template) So, yeah, Chvrches, blah blah blah. I liked it better when it was called Erasure. Andy Bell was at least a gloriously flamboyant vocalist, unlike the generic, Disney radio sounding vocalist for Chvrches. Arcade Fire? As a good friend of mine recently said, "Arcade Fire's like some obscure disco group you'd see in the background  of some bad movie from the early 80s" Disclosure? Where were you guys when Rick Danger, Tony T Fernandez, and myself were playing this stuff at Club Parliament in 1993? Haim? Seriously? Not even going to dignify... POINT BEING... All these lists are merely a prelude for when the fat lady sings tonight as POP Goes The World  delivers the only Best Of 2013 show that truly matters! Don't Believe me? Talk to me in 20 years, and we'll see which music actually held up.SongArtistAlbumYear ConfidenceThe DodosCarrier2013Calm DownThe Love LanguageRuby Red2013ComfortArmsEP22013+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++BarriersSuedeBloodsports2013Don't Play With GunsThe Black AngelsIndigo Meadow2013Bag BoyPixies2013Golden Sweater VestLittle, BigEdgewood 2013You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded ManThe BeardsHaving a Beard is the New Not Having a Beard2013++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++VelvetThe Ballantynes2013Rip Van WinkleShannon & The ClamsDreams In The Rat House2013Walk On In DarknessEzra FurmanDay Of The Dog2013A Lizard StateKing Krule6 Feet Beneath The Moon2013++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ApplesLiterature2013Waiting For Your CallWarm SodaSomeone For You2013A Note To SelfParanthetical GirlsPrivilege (Abridged)2013Q_QPretty & NiceGolden Rules For Golden People2013CarelessThe DelphinesLive @ WRIR Vol.22013Baby BoogieWarren HixonStyle Weekly's Best Of RVA 20132013HaikuThe GarbersStyle Weekly's Best Of RVA 20132013Stoned and StarvingParquet CourtsLight Up Gold2013++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++The SwanCheetahs2013Shelter SongTemplesColours To Life2013She Smokes In BedTV GirlLonely Women EP2013PlanetAnamanaguchi2013++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Laugh Now I'm WeakThe Death Of Pop2013DroplaYouth LagoonWondrous Bughouse2013Is This The EndBrøthers2013RebirthYuckGlow & Behold2013Another TomorrowLusineThe Waiting Room2013+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Just Make It StopLowThe Invisable Way2013
