I didn’t give up on this blog, I swear. I think I just forgot about doing it. I’m back though. I’ll try to be more regular about it from now on.
In case you were wondering, since I didn’t do a full on top album list like last year, my favourite album of 2011 was probably The Black Keys – El Camino? It came out pretty late in the year but the riffs were mind blowing, it was energetic and very driving. I was asked last night why I like it so much. To me, it not only sounds like real Rock n Roll, it feels like real, genuine Rock n Roll which is something that is kind of lost on this generation. There’s a ton of shit that you have to sift through, sometimes with rubber gloves to find real good music, but it’s out there.
My most listened to song according to my Last.fm was Yonkers – Tyler the Creator. If you’ve heard it before, then you’re most likely sick of it by now. Most people don’t get it, when I tell them that I love Tyler the Creator and OFWGKTA. I guess it just awakens the rebel inside of me that wants to kill people, burn shit, and fuck school. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t get it, then whatever, move on, it’s not for you.
My guilty pleasures were probably Niggas in Paris by Jay-Z and Kanye West, Superbass by Nicky Minaj and I Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez. That shit cray
I think I’m going to tweak things a bit this year. I’m switching to monthly playlists. Here’s the music I kicked it to in January :
