Even though I compiled a list last year, for whatever reason I never posted it. I did a much better job actually paying attention to and writing about music in 2011, which is not so much an accomplishment in itself but when compared to this year it's quite a feat. Here are my favorite songs from 2011, listed in no order below, and available as three big downloads.Pt. 1Black Lips - Mr. DriverEleanor Friedberger - Scenes from BensonhurstFarben - ParadaHoly Ghost - Some ChildrenKassem Mosse - EnohaKing Krule - The Noose of Jah CityMotor City Drum Ensemble - Raw Cuts # 6Nettle - Nakhil (this is from the soundtrack to the imaginary remake of the Shining, "El Resplandor," set in Dubai.
