Boxing Day 2013. I have a cold. Not just a regular cold. But one of those really annoying colds that you only ever seem to get at the Christmas holidays. Trouper that I am I've stocked up on drugs, menthol oils, lozenges, cups of tea and Toblerone. I reckon we should be able to make it through the two hour epic that is the BEST OF 2013 PART 2 no problem.

It's a pretty exciting list too. Eight of the top ten tracks are from Scottish bands, and while the top two were way out in front, at the end they were separated only by a single voter. The closest the poll has ever been.

Anyway, get yourself a glass of mulled wine, put your feet up in front of the fire, and enjoy the 25 top tracks of 2013 as chosen by the listeners of the Edinburgh Man Podcast.

Oh, and the podcast is now on its annual winter break. It will return refreshed on the first Thursday of February. See you then!
