#XPN5050: 2013

For fifty weeks this year, we’re celebrating the music of a specific year every Saturday on WXPN. We’ll be choosing the years randomly; for this week’s #XPN5050, Mike Vasilikos is putting the musical spotlight on the year 2013.

It was the year Daft Punk got lucky, Jason Isbell took us to Stockholm, and Lorde celebrated royals. It was the year of Beyoncé’s self-titled, Arcade Fire’s Reflektor and Kurt Vile’s Wakin On a Pretty Daze. Listen to our playlist of 2013 music below!
