Reverb Managing Editor Matt Miller and Digital First Media Entertainment Editor John Hendrickson discuss some of SXSW 2013′s biggest news.

Here’s an Anti-Valentine’s Day playlist for you sad, single and bitter to wallow in your own self pity.

There is very little that is dispassionate about the music of The Walkmen and Father John Misty. Together, their music is gutsy, irreverent and sweet.

Here are Denver’s five best concerts this week from Jan. 18 to Jan. 23, including the Walkmen, Cat Power and more.

And here we are at the end of Reverb’s Best of Week. Wednesday we listed our favorite Colorado artists and Thursday we compiled the best songs of 2012. Now, the Reverb editors and writers bring you the best albums of 2012. The year saw some great newcomers in hip-hip and R&B, along with the debut of the Denver group, the Lumineers, who scored a few Grammy nominations and made one list here.

This week the editors and writers of Reverb are looking back on the music of 2012 — a year of “Gangnam Style” and that Gotye song. Today we are listing our favorite songs of the year, and don’t worry, neither “Gangnam Style” or that Gotye song made the cut. Wednesday we ranked our favorite Colorado artists and Friday we unveil the best albums of the year.
