Guest Best Of: Starring John Harouff (Dead Professional)

Y'all know that my Best Of 2013 is a little ways away (I promise, it'll be earlier than last year's roundup), but to get you in the end of year mood, I thought I'd ask a few musician friends for their picks for the best records of this year. I'm also nosy/curious, and just wanted to see what they'd choose. After all, as I said last year, a person's record selections say a lot about them.

Brevity isn't usually my bag, as y'all know all too well. Especially when it comes to certain year-end lists. I should, in future, follow the example of Mister John Harouff (known in musical circles as Dead Professional). He'll tell you he's a little behind with new music, but has put together a nice little list indeed from this year. Check back with me in a few weeks, and you might even see something of John's on my list. In the meantime, make sure you've got yourself acquainted with Dead Professional. And now, John's picks from 2013:

Caveman : Caveman
GEMS : Medusa EP
Jonny Fritz : Dad Country
Bombadil : Metrics of Affection
