2k11

2011 was a fun year for music. Although blogs made it easier to create a lot of unworthy hype for some artists, I managed to come across a few gems. Thought I should round up my favourite albums & tracks of the year.

I rounded the albums to 10 so I could use this pretty little cube I made earlier. In no particular order (because really I think Frank Ocean would be number 1)...


1. JEFF The Brotherhood - Heavy Days
2. I Am The Avalanche - Avalanche United
3. Iceage - New Brigade
4. Drake Take Care
5. Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost
6. Balkans - Balkans
7. James Blake - James Blake
8. 1995 - La Source
9. Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra

All of these albums had extremely heavy rotation over the past 12 months during different times. 2012, you have a lot to live up to!! I recommend them all for completely different reasons. If you haven't, check them out.

Gotta run to my chess lesson. Trying to develop the perfect soundtrack for chess is proving more difficult than initially presumed. Graham Nash has been the closest thing so far.
