Best Of 2013

I feel like the "Best of 2011" list was a lot easier to write. I've been working on this thing off and on for a couple of weeks and ended up checking out shit so good that it bumped stuff off the lists (Sorry Down To Nothing). I've linked a lot of these to make it as easy as I could for you to check 'em out. And be sure to check back as I have a few more posts coming up in the next few weeks.
