Music

Favorite Songs of 2013

1. "Politicians In My Eyes" - DEATH (This blew my mind. It's the type of music I wrote in my high school band.)
2. "Black Skinhead" - Kanye West (The flow and beat make up for the lack of content in lyrics)
3. "Just Give Me A Reason" - Pink and the tenor dude from that one band
4. "Brave" - That girl who was on Craig Ferguson
5. "Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke

Favorite New Artist: N/A
Favorite Artist or Album you discovered for the first time this year: DEATH
Worst Album of 2013: All of them? Cue grandpa Simpson and his "with it" diatribe

Anything else you'd like to say about music from 2013?  Trip introduced me to Metric so that's cool.

Movies
Favorite Movies of 2013
1. The Heat (The best comedy I've seen in a VERY long time. A top 5 all-time candidate)
2. Pacific Rim
3. Despicable Me 2 (it's to the first what Empire is to A New Hope)
4. A Band Called DEATH
5. The Oz prequel

Favorite Movie from a previous year you watched for the first time this year: 13 Assassins

Worst Movie of 2013: Man of Steel (terrible in every way, but the acting was particularly craptastic)

Anything else you'd like to mention about movies from 2013: This is the year where "dark and gritty" and CGI rendered content and acting irrelevant.

These lists make me realize I'm getting older. I'm more inclined to care about my own hobbies and interests than seek out new things. That's pretty damn awful. I need to readjust my attitude and take my own personal experience and expertise into new avenues rather than not seek anything out at all. Jesus, Trip, thanks for giving me an existentialism crisis!

Worst Show of 2013: Community. At first I thought it wasn't too bad but then it just got worse (except for the last 3 eps)
Anything else you'd like to mention about TV from 2013:
Who has time for TV?

"Stupid Hoe" was my first, and hopefully last, foray into the thing that is Nikki Minaj. Not sure whether I should thank you or smite you for that, aj. I knew she was a thing or whatever but I honestly didn't know it was THAT bad. In my mind, I envisioned her being an auto-tuned mess with a catchy beat. Fuck beans I was wrong. That was straight Yoko Ono bad. Kind of reminded me of the Leverage episode I watched where the blonde was playing a Bjork-type role. Dear lord, aj, I think you fried my brain. Fucking train wreck.

I'm going to go listen to Beyond just to cleanse my soul. (or Seoul if you like terrible, racist puns)

Anything else you'd like to mention about TV from 2013:
Breaking Bad's ending was so mindblowingly disappointing after thinking about it for a while to the point I don't recommend it to people anymore. The ending practically wrote itself and then they suddenly lost all ability to write because they just threw in shit with no idea how to pay it off and used what should have been a subplot as the main plot. Terribly mediocre, will not purchase.
