The year 2013 was not a very good one for me but luckily there was plenty of good music to get me through. Music has a way of uplifting and inspiring us to keep going when things are tough. It certainly has gotten me through some rough spots. If you were listening to CBC R3 then, you will recognize many of the songs on the playlist. There are a lot of tracks that might not be as familiar but the artist playing them is because it was from an earlier album before you became aware of them. Or there are some you may have just not have heard from before. So while it is a look back at 2013 there may still be some new to you tracks.
We started with 2006 in March because I planned to make this a monthly playlist and there are 12 months in a year and 2006 was 12 years ago. I got a little behind in October. We are now on 2013 this month and 2014 next month, etc until we get to the current year and then see how it goes from there. It can be fun to check back and see what music we still love and what music we once loved but have moved on from and to find out what we missed. I made a YouTube playlist that you can find below, with the same songs that are on the Spotify playlist. The bonus of that is many have videos to watch as well and that can be fun to check out too.
2013 brought us great albums from A Tribe Called Red, Shad, Lightning Dust, Imaginary Cities, Basia Bulat, Classified and so many more. I really don’t want to relive 2013 ever again but I sure don’t mind listening to the music from that year. I hope you enjoy it as well.
Hi; not here today.
(A statement contradicted by fact)
Why not Benoît?
I was just listening to the CBC R3 top 10 podcast the other day, Graham Wright was the host with Matt the producer … his hosting is full of bad jokes, was total fun.
Hello.
I will have to check the podcast out. Graham was a lot of fun to watch when TPC was here. I was thinking of trying to talk to him after but I didn’t hang around.
Royal Canoe’s album that came out in 2013, Today We’re Believers, is one of my favs.
Rememeber Inner Ninja? 2013.
Check out Alexa Dirks’ (Begonia) voice in Chic Gamine. It was a band I was aware of but didn’t really listen to much at the time.
2013! I remember those songs like it was yesterday but have not listened to a lot of them recently.
Thanks for the reminders @darbar.
I too am out most of the day …
Thanks for checking it out morgana. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
I have booked time in with my teenager … seems the only way to see her for more than food and clean laundry.
Making some Christmas gifts this weekend too. I love Santa’s workshop time of year:)
OK, off I go!
I will have to book some time with my son. We aren’t working on the same plays these days and I am missing hanging out with him.
Hello
Please excuse my tardyness, I have not set up my PC after someone decided to remove some parts yesterday
Would that someone be you or is someone else messing with your PC.
It was the housemate, who owns most of the parts in it to be fair
Ahh gotcha. That makes it hard to complain.
You have heard of people that like to be on the cutting edge of tech, well I tend to be on the trailing edge
I can still complain, if I make it sound sarcastic
You just like to keep it challenging right. hehe
I keep wondering if it is too soon to start asking CMac about the secret santa
It’s not too soon but do you think there’s enough interest? If there is we could probably start another one if CMac is too busy.
We had a conversation about why there hadn’t been one last year and CMac said that nobody asked her
But I am usually told off for mentioning it too soon so I held off last year and forgot about it
It’s definitely not too soon to bring it up.
I just asked her via facebook messenger
there is a poll on the facebook group
I just saw that. 🙂
OK, this feels like a dodgy question but, what shoe size are you (anyone that wants to answer)
I have been customizing shoes and I want to send some over there (they are not great but they will do)
Interesting project. I am curious. Women’s size 9 for me.
I currently have an 8.5 or a 10 (North American Womenses)
Close but not quite.
I’ll see what I can do. It does mean that you can choose your own colour 🙂
https://www.perfectpearlsandpigments.co.uk/23-products
I don’t understand what I am looking at there.
Colour 1 if it is choosing colours.
it is the pigments I use
Fluorescent Paint Pigment Yellow?
No the one that is listed as 1 next to that.
Ooooh, I haven’t played with colour shifting pigments yet, that should be fun
Oh I hadn’t checked out the other pages. Haha!
I love different shades of blues. So whatever.
I ordered
Colourshift Pearl Pigment Powders Colour 1
Fluorescent Paint Pigment Yellow
Metal Flake – Glitter – Deep Purple
Metal Flake – Glitter – Emerald green
Metal Flake – Glitter – Atomic Blue
and a pair of plimsolls in your size
Cool!
most of them should do 2 or 3 pairs (the yellow should do up to 15)
Nice.
Justin: doin’ stuff in the country.
I think has to be a site record for the longest time before a response (8hrs 51mins)
bahaha!
