LDD - Best of 2014 from Long_Distance_Drunk on 8tracks Radio.

In hot pursuit of my Top Albums of 2014 list, here comes my Top Songs of 2014 mix! Instead of the typical 20-ish-song, 80-ish-minute compilation, this year I decided that FIFTY is the magic number. That’s right, you’re in for a treat…3 hours 17 minutes of top-notch, grade-A tracks that were the soundtrack of my year. I didn’t bother splitting hairs to decide the order of the Top 50. Rather, I mixed them in the order I felt most appropriate. So take a listen. All you have to do is press PLAY above!

Albums of the Year | 2014

3 Comments 25 | January | 2015

It’s that time of year again. At least it WAS that time of year…two months ago. Still, it’s never too late for an Albums of the Year list, right? I just wanted to be sure nobody copied my answers.

According to some parts of the internet, 2014 wasn’t a triumph in the album arena, with the exception of Taylor Swift’s 527 ft home run, 1989. Speaking of monster home runs and 1989, shout out to the Bash Brothers – Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. Despite this ruling by the interwebs that doesn’t mean there are some serious gems out there.

Thanks to all my favorite people for slangin’ recommendations my way throughout the year. Per the usual, gimme a shout with any albums that I absolutely, positively haaaave to check out, lest my street cred flow directly into the sewer. I’m all ears.

Now for the moment you’ve been waiting for….the L.I.S.T. My Top 50 Albums of 2014. Continue Reading
