Fave music of 2011
Compared to everyone else in my family, I am a total loser in terms of music. They generally turn me on to what they are listening to. Their brains are filled with singles and new artists. The good news is that there is always amazing music being played in our house. I pay attention but not like they do. Maybe 2012?
Here is my fave music of 2011 in no particular order. I have to say that the lists with singles make the most sense based on how we listen to music these days but I am still in complete album mode.
Codes and Keys Death Cab for Cutie
Iron and Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean
Smith Westerns – Weekend
J. Mascis, Several Shades of Why
Dale Earnhardt Jr. It’s a Corporate World
Watch the Throne Jay Z and Kanye West
Wiz Khalifa – Rolling Papers (this year or last?)
Antlers Burst Apart
Florence and the Machine, Ceremonials
I also listened to a bunch of rap thanks to Josh. Mac Miller, Blue Side Park, Peanut Butter and Swelly, Chitty Bang and Drake, Take Care.

Thanks for sharing – i can not stop playing Beirut – The Rip TideI was watching NBC New Years eve coverage last night (I can’t watch channel 7 w/ them wheeling out Dick Clark) – There was a cut away to a taped piece by Brian Williams – where he rattled off a bunch of artist he is listening to these days and Beirut was one of them. Please have a happy, safe and productive 2012!
