Comment:

Here it is, the annual Lazy-i Best of 2013 comp CD -- a collection of the best of the best indie music heard during my endeavors as an intrepid Omaha music journalist. Last year when I handed a friend a copy of the CD he suggested I simply make a playlist in Spotify and call it good. But come on, what fun is that? Technology being what it is, CDs are slowly but surely going the way of the dinosaur (along with CD players). Still, in a Spotify/Pandora era when everyone communicates via email, Facebook, texts, it's nice to get something... material; something you can actually hold in your hand... even if you can't play it.
