MUSIC, MOVIES, AND COMICS OF 2013

I really like music. I really like films. I really like comic books. I listen to a lot of music, watch a lot of films, but don't read as many comics as I'd like. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts on all three in the past year.

Let it be said (as if it isn't obvious), all of this is my opinion. I know for a fact there's a bunch of people who will disagree with me, that's just fine. Also, there's probably plenty of stuff I missed out on from this year, so this is all based on what I put my ears and eyes on. Feel free to leave your thoughts, or tell me how much my taste sucks. Just be respectful, eh?

For your convenience, I linked to the records/songs/trailers, so be sure to click away!
