So much good music was released in 2011 that it was quite difficult to narrow down my 20 favourite albums of the year. As such, I’ve also included some Honourable Mentions. I didn’t have the chance to write a quick blurb for each album, so you’ll have to take my word that these are definitely the 20 albums that I personally enjoyed the most in 2011. Each album entry is hyperlinked to a YouTube video of my favorite song from said album. Enjoy/criticize/laugh/agree: continue reading...
2010 was a great year for music. In my annual album countdown I’ll once again be highlighting the albums that I enjoyed the most throughout the course of the last year.

The easiest and best place to start for any of these bands is probably their MySpace page. Here we go:

It still bears the quality songwriting that you’ve come to expect, but shows a new focus on his adopted city, New York, and incorporates some new sounds including his first use of drum loops. Don’t worry, its nothing too shocking, but it makes for a great album with some inspired tunes. Don’t miss “Satellite Radio” for a taste of the “new” sound. continue reading...
