Weird, right? The year’s already half over. I say this every July, but this year really and truly has been zipping by even faster than the normal zippiness.<\/p>\n

So far in 2013, I’ve only made a couple of new discoveries that have me truly excited, but some old favorites have been doing a standup job of releasing new, quality songs. Here are the 15 tracks\u2014by standbys and ingenues\u2014that I’ve been listening to most. Despite my new-found status as a dad, I’d like to believe it’s not too Dad Rock-oriented…but there’s definitely a hint of that going on. It’s OK. The world probably needs more decent Dad Rock blogs, right?<\/p>\n

Without further ado…<\/p>\n

15. “Get Lucky,” Daft Punk<\/a> feat. Pharrell Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course<\/em> this song is on my list. Literally everybody loves this song\u2014for now. We’re all going to be sick of it about two weeks from now. In the meantime, let’s get our French-robot-neo-disco boogie on.<\/p>\n
