Favorite Albums of 2011

It seems like a really random bunch, but these are the albums I listened to most in 2011.

Foster The People, Torches is my number one. If I couldn’t find anything on the radio I liked, or if shuffle on my iPhone was not cutting it, I would just listen to Torches. It’s just my kind of music: Alternative Pop. Grouplove Never Trust A Happy Song is a close second, only because Torches came out first and I’ve been listening to Torches longer.

Mini-Mid-December Mix: Treat Yo’self Edition

I can’t sleep. Its 11:15. I have to get up at 6, be at work at 7:30am, and won’t get home from work until 8:30pm tomorrow. I accept that it’s going to be rough, and I put forth a mix that will make it so much better, me thinks.

  1. The Big Pink - Stay Gold
  2. The History of Apple Pie - You’re So Cool
  3. This Many Boyfriends - Young Lovers Go Pop!
  4. The Vaccines - Tiger Blood /or/ A Lack of Understanding
  5. Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks
  6. Grouplove - Naked Kids /or/ Itchin’ On A Photograph
  7. Young The Giant - I Got /or/ Apartment
  8. Cults- Bumper
  9. The Decemberists - Don’t Cary It All /or/ Down By The Water
  10. City & Colour - Little Hell

Normally I post links to the songs on YouTube… my bad.
