The Top 50 Awesome Tracks of 2013: 30-21

Had enough yet? Well... thirty more to go!

Number 30: TwoThirds "Tonight (feat. Holly Drummond)"
Another haunting trance song thanks to Holly Drummond's perfect vocals. 

Number 29: Of Monsters and Men "Little Talks"
The happiest band in the world! What a blast! 

Number 28: Say Lou Lou "Julian" 
My favorite new artists of the year (and yes, I liked them when they were originally called Saint Lou Lou)... but my oh my... everything they released this year was awesome! I love, love, loved this song! Check out Say Lou Lou performing it on the Hurts (yes, Hurts!!) tour! 



Number 27: College "A Real Hero (feat. Electric Youth)"
Not great audio... but such cool little electro pop song. I enjoyed it all year long. 

Number 26: Chris Schweizer "One" 
More trance. More insanity. More fun. 

Number 25: The Naked and Famous "I kill giants" 
I love this band! They ended up with 3 top songs in my top 50. Check out this raging live version of "I kill giants"

Number 24: Ms Mr "Hurricane (Chvrches reMix)"
The combination of up & comers Ms Mr, with the new darlings of indie pop, Chvrches, makes for one of the the most memorable collaborations of 2013! 

Number 23: Robots With Rayguns "Love Is A Battlefield (Feat Patrick Baker)"
When Patrick Baker and Robots with Rayguns collaborate... just know... it's going to be f*cking awesome!! :)

Number 22: Hurts "Only You"
The greatest band in England. I loved Theo's original band - Daggers - but with Hurts, he's in command of the perfect pop band. I couldn't find a decent live version of Only You... so instead, check out their definitive cover of Oasis's "Wonderwall"... wicked! 

Number 21: Tegan and Sara "Closer"
Leave it to two indie stars to write the best rock song of the year! Now for the a trippy experience... check out Taylor Swift performing with Tegan and Sara... Yes, you're reading this correctly! And yes, it's awesome!!!
