2011

No books, film, or television lists this year.  Only music.

Ten I liked, in abc order:

bon iver, bon iver
  


















bonnie 'prince' billy, wolfroy goes to town
 
















das racist, relax
 
















explosions in the sky, take care, take care, take care
 
















david lynch, crazy clown time
 
















radiohead, the king of limbs

















r.e.m., collapse into now

















the roots, undun

















the rural alberta advantage, departing

















tv on the radio, nine types of light


















ten disappointments:

wilco, the whole love
fleet foxes, helplessness blues
feist, metals
my morning jacket, circuital
bright eyes, the people's key
beastie boys, hot sauce committee part 2
red hot chili peppers, i'm with you
iron & wine, kiss each other clean
the strokes, angles
death cab for cutie, codes and keys

five that fell in between:

jay-z/kanye west, watch the throne
paul simon, so beautiful or so what
wild flag, wild flag
ryan adams, ashes and fire
eddie vedder, ukulele songs

one by a band I cannot, nor will I ever, abide:

the decemberists, the king is dead
