The Highlight Of 2013
Villagers. My band of the year and despite being released in November 2012, "Nothing Arrived" is my song of the year. They've won me over and some.

Prediction For 2014
Beyoncé will release a new album (featuring the already massive, un-released "Grown Woman") and continue to completely take over the world at a rapid pace.
