In no particular order, I've selected the favorite tracks from 2014's playlists for our thirteenth annual Choice Cuts end-of-year mix. I'm revealing them throughout the week. The final four:
17. A Little Lost -- Sufjan Stevens
Yes, "indietronica" is a word, and perhaps best describes this track from the singer/songwriter.
18. Black Out Days -- Phantogram
It was a breakthrough year for the duo, which had a breakout hit with the song "Fall In Love." I considered putting that on this playlist, but considering how overplayed that song became, I settled with "Black Out Days."
19. Coffee -- Sylvan Esso
From the debut album by the North Carolina duo. It was either this song or "Hey Mami," but I think my love for coffee won out.
20. Always Winnin -- Shad & DJ T.LO
How can you not love a song that references "Homeland," the NBC peacock, "30 Rock" and EGOT winners, among many other things? Oh, and it's also a catchy track.
21. Myth of Myself (A Ruse to Exploit Our Weaknesses) -- Fanfarlo
The epic nature of this song, complete with flute, made it the natural way to end this year's Choice Cuts mix. Until next year!
