Year in review: Songs (41.50)

I'm no professional music listener, but I do buy an awful lot over the year. Over the next few days, I'll share with you (temporarily free!) my 50 free songs and my 10 (or so) favorite albums of the year. Heavy thanks to Stereogum, which often provided me with free mp3s. Here are the first songs

49. Heartless Bastards - Sway
48. The Avett Brothers - January wedding
47. Diamond Rings - All yr songs
46. Andrew Bird - Anonanimal
45. Blind Pilot - The story I heard
44. Rattail - Go Green
43. Grizzly Bear - Two weeks
42. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Contender
41. Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - Know better, learn faster
