My list for 2011

I'd say it is fair to assume that very few music obsessive types are able to avoid the compulsion to make their end of the year list. I am not one of those rare few.

I will definitely have more to say about this phenomenon in the near future but I figured I should start with my favorite recordings that came out this past year. These are not in any hierarchical order.

Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise

Holy Other - With U

Iceage - New Brigade

Clams Casino - Rainforest EP and Instramentals

Wild Flag - self titled

Anna Calvi - self titled

Clive Tanaka y su orquesta - Jet Set Siempre 1*

Wounded Lion - IVXLCDM

Handsome Furs - Sound Kapital

White Hills - H-p1

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Doomtree - No Kings

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Blood Lust

Zomby - Dedication

Belong - Common Era

Yeah? Well, where is your list then?
