Starting today and pretty much every weekday for the next two weeks, I’ll be using these Pick Your Poison intros to let you know about the latest and greatest things going on with the annual Listmas event here on Faronheit. Yes, we’re in year-end mode and it’s time to break down the best music that 2014 had to offer. All this week it’s the Top 50 Songs of the Year, which leads into next week’s Top 50 Albums of the Year. Kind of like an advent calendar, new items will be revealed each day as the countdown progresses. Just a short bit ago I posted the first entry in the Top Songs list, so if you’re intrigued, click here to see entries #50-41. We’re starting off great and only getting better. But if ranked lists aren’t exactly your thing, perhaps you’ll find Pick Your Poison is more up your alley. There’s some good tracks in the set below from DRLNG, Lanterna, Liars, Quarterbacks and Vincent Colbert. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Amen Dunes, Axis: Sova, The Dodos, Moritat, A Sunny Day in Glasgow, Twin Shadow and You Blew It!
