This was – as always – a mighty good year for music. And for those who know me, and know what music I like, the AOTY is not a surprise, not at all. Their albums were my AOTYs for 2009 and 2012, so this is really kinda boring and stuff. Yeah, let’s all quit this and do some of our exciting daily deeds now, shall we?
