2014.
Done.
And now it's time for a list of Big Ugly Yellow Couch's favorite albums from the past year. There's two of us here at BUYC HQ and we're the holiday spirit so we're giving you two lists of our favorite albums and a whole giant list of our favorite tracks.
The first list is from founding member, photographer and videographer, Donald Rasmussen...
