2011 musical list.

the following is a list of my favourite songs from 2011 in no particular order. please note that these are just songs that i loved the most in 2011 - they were not all released in 2011 (ex. third eye blind - don't judge me). 

song/artist

heartbeat - islands

my boyfriend is going to kill me if he hears this one more time, i just can't control it.

slow - twin shadow
sometimes i think the 80's were so lame (fashion) but then other times i completely understand and adore the influence.

the start of something - voxtrot
"don't call me boring it's just cause i like you". awwww.

still - great lake swimmers
"i am still a fire unlight ready to go". me too man, me too.




 

shed your love - the helio sequence
"on a subway train before the dawn, the ride was short but my thoughts were long"

leaving your death in a flowerbed - attack in black
perhaps it is because i have a huge crush on daniel or perhaps this is just a really great song.

i need a dollar - aloe blacc
not only the best opening song of an addictive tv series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0hor1YHXeU) that was cancelled (wtf? seriously, the bachelor has had how many seasons and how to make it america gets 2, 2! what does that tell you about our society?) but what a cool guy. i would give him more than a dollar to share his stories with me.

 

radar detector - darwin deez
you know when you are sick of all your music and you just need a new picker upper to join you through your daily routine, something upbeat and inspiring? this is that song for me. listened to this one wayyyyyy too many times in 2011. still do. think it might be a problem...

where the sparrows drop - one hundred dollars
i just love simone's voice in this song, so pretty, so twangy, so good.

dog days are over - florence and the machine
she may not be a real redhead, but the girl can sing.

my mistakes - eleanor friedberger
great summer tune.

can i graduate - third eye blind
we discovered this tape at a friends cottage last summer and it was only then that i realized how sad the lyrics are. the music was so upbeat it took away from the drug addiction reality. regardless we blared it while boating around the lake, feeling like the teenagers we once were.

brothers - war on drugs
nothing quite like a cross between bob dylan and tom petty.

low road - grace potter and the nocturnals
something about this woman just makes me smile.

2010 musical list. forgot to post.

forgot to post this last year:

the following is a list of my favourite songs from 2010 in no particular order. please note that these are just songs that i loved the most in 2010 - they were not all released in 2010.

artist - song

 

 

lcd soundsystem - home

once the buildup in this song reaches its climax, i am moving in embarrassing ways on the elliptical (as pointed out by my boyfriend).

 

forest city lovers - minneapolis
most "sung in the shower" song of the year.

hooded fang - almost done

just love the harmonizing in this tune - deep and soothing meets cotton candy sweetness.

born ruffians - oh man

something about the flowing rhythm of the guitars against luke lalonde's whines just sounds soooo good. plus they are amazing live.

ra ra riot - too too fast

80's inspired intro and the round-like sing-talk just does it for me.

broken social scene - sweetest kill

i could not stop playing this song for about 2 weeks - so hauntingly beautiful.

arthur and yu - the ghost of old bull lee

"don't need to be part of a scene to cause a scene, so cause a scene". best line ever. plus these guys are a throw back to the velvet underground. i am sold.

wintersleep - new inheritors

sometimes i overestimate my worth.

best coast - i want to

"i want to, go back to, the first time, the first place". enough said.

the dutchess and the duke - let it die

never has a song about abortion sounded so good.

 surfer blood - anchorage

"now i hear you're hanging out, with electric guitars no doubt".

sharon jones and the dap kings - better things

this song makes me want to gather all my favourite girlfriends together for some dancing and man-bashing.

the acorn - misplaced

awwwwww.

everything all the time - lazy days

one of the best songs to bike to on a spring day.

arcade fire - modern man

i just really like this song.

the stars - fixed

i just can't get enough of amy millan's sugary sweet voice - it holds my heart.

gord downie & the country of miracles - moon over glenora

love gord and julie's harmonizing. so pleasing to the ears.

band of horses - nw apt.

just a great uplifting song. aaaaand huge crush on ben.

the black keys - everlasting light

bluesy goodness. you can be my everlasting light anytime dan. anytime.

mark ronson and the business intl - the bike song

great song, even better video.

royal city - under a hollow tree

more banjo, we need more banjo.

megafaun - the longest day

i think this has to be one of the prettiest songs i have ever heard. best concert of the year hands down - sitting on the floor of the horseshoe (gross i know, but stay with me) with complete strangers listening to them play this song gave me the shivers. as if that is not good enough, my friend calan and i had the privilege to play harmonica with the band!

dirty projectors - useful chamber

i don't know how to describe my affection for this song because i don't really know, or really even care, what the song is about.

fanfarlo - finish line

awesomely nerdy.

phoenix - 1901

i just can't get enough of this son - it makes me want to dance in the middle of the street like a maniac or run miles my body can't run.

oh no! on my! - lisa make love

i will always remember this song from my 30th b-day, played live by my awesome friends.

frightened rabbit - old old fashioned

sigh.

kayne west - gold digger

makes everyday routine somewhat entertaining (walking to the job you hate, walking through the dufferin mall, folding laundry at the weirdo laundromat across the street).
