Why Did We Ever Meet?

I know there is a world out there. I'm here to explore it. I will post anything and everything from my life and the world around me.

End of the year (my top 20 of 2011)

 A year ago I was at Disney World and a year before that I was on an airplane headed towards ATL which would lead me to Rome, Italy. Now I’m just sitting at a desk listening to Spotify and figuring out my top twenty albums of this year. This year I actually listened to a lot of genres thanks to websites called Pitchfork, AbsolutePunk, and NME (shouting out to the sites). I know last year I had a big end of the year list (See blog saying “End Of The Year 2010), but I can’t do it this year. There’s so many good albums, but I can’t order any of them after ten. I know the list is going to change anyways throughout the next year, but I mind as well have a top ten. I think ten is a good number really because you don’t want to a big list anyways. Plus, we have Spotify now so we can listen to any album we want to for free. If you don’t have it, I suggest downloading it. It’s one of the best things that came out of 2011, but I’m not here to talk about Spotify.

I’m here to reveal my top twenty list of 2011. A list that some will hate or love. It just deepens on your opinion. There will be artist that not many people will know on this list also. It happens, but I hope more people will check out these artists. Maybe these artists will get huge next year. We never know. Well here its…let the wtf’s, wow’s, and what was I thinking’s flow through your head..and we will start with number 10..

18.Transit - Listen&Forgive

And Number 1 is….Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See


Surprise Surprise…but I did enjoy Arctic Monkeys latest entry. It is lyrically one of my favorite albums and they finally revealed The Smiths as being an influence on Suck It and See. I can see that after listening to it the very first time. I haven’t really listen to Bon Iver latest entry too much this year, but I will be spending more time on it. It might just rise higher on my list. One album I do need to listen more is M83’s latest double LP. I’ve been hearing a lot of praise and Midnight City is a great song. It might just rise higher on my list also. I intentionally put Adele as number 20, but it is a great album. I bet a couple people have checked it out already. I heard she is getting huge. I also made a best of 2011 playlist on Spotify too.  Here’s the link Best of 2011…

Oh yea, Naked and Famous and Gyspy & The Cat would be on this list, but both of their albums came out in 2010. I go by when the album gets released onto the internet. This list is final (for right now), but it will change at least 100 times, but my favorite album of this year will not. I can’t wait for the new music for next year. Oh yea, for you Sugar Frosted Pacific fans, I will be releasing a new double LP next year.
