A virtual shit tonne of shit hot music was released in 2013 . This weeks show is all tunes from albums that have been released in the last 12 months. I have a four way tie for album of the year and among these is FIDLAR’s debut album. ( No Waves is defo the song of the year and video of the year has got to be this one!) Next it’s Thee Oh Sees, The Mind Spiders, Bass Drum of Death and The Steve Adamyk Band. Some great Irish music was released this year as well so here’s a bit of Squarehead, then over to America for some Rozwell Kid and then back to Ireland for a brand new one from Lurch. Red Fang of course gets a look in because they played the best gig I saw in Oh’13 and released a very well recieved album as well. The second selection in my four way tie for first is the S/T FUZZ album so here’s a couple tracks from it, then The Bad Sports show up and its time for my third selection which is Mikal Cronin’s pure pop masterpiece Mcii. We head back to Ireland for one from The Run Ons who are playing on Saturday in Anseo and The #1’s who are playing on Friday in Whelans. Rounding things off it’s the last in the best of 2013 album stakes with two from Jeff Burke and Mark Ryan’s Radioactivity. There’s another shows worth of 2013 tunes I didn’t have time to play so that will be coming up in the next few weeks.
