Top 10 Tracks of 2011


figure 1. Wye Oak

2011 - another year of looking back? At first glance it appears that way. Amazing reissues from Archers of Loaf (Icky Mettle), Superchunk (Foolish), R.E.M. (Life's Rich Pageant - p.s. their best album) and Dinosaur jr. (the first three records). Despite all the old material out there, there was some fantastic new music. What follows is my top ten. All links to music are free and legal.








10. Kurt Vile - "Jesus Fever" (mp3)







9. The Cave Singers - "Black Leaf" (mp3)








8. The Get Up Kids - "Regent's Court"







7. Buffalo Tom - "The Big Light"








6. We Are Augustines - "Chapel Song" - link to free download of song








5. Office of Future Plans - "FEMA Coffins"








4. Dum Dum Girls - "Bedroom Eyes" (mp3)







3. Des Ark - "My Saddle is Waitin' (C'mon, Jump On It)"
