It’s that time of year again. No, not the holiday spirit, but the blogosphere spirit where everyone turns in their top albums of the year list. We’ve never been one to make lists. Hell, we’re not really too deep into the whole “album” spirit. With that in mind, we’ve created a list of some of our top singles of this year. There are obviously plenty others that we love, but most of them are here because we posted about them on the site. Of course we love the Adeles, Florence and The Machines, and Radioheads of the 2011 music year. It’d be crazy not to. Check out some of our favorite tracks of 2011:

M83 – “Midnight City”

Gotye – “Somebody That I Used To Know”

Penguin Prison – “Don’t Fuck With My Money”

Monarchy – “Maybe I’m Crazy”

Keep going, there’s more:

Mixtape: Pusha T – Fear of God

Mar 21, 2011 6 100 In: New Tunes Tags: , , , , , , By: Jeffco 0 Comment

Whoa! It’s been a while since we’ve posted here on the site. I know we have taken a sort of nose dive since our last giveaway, but I’m back and more energized than ever now that I finished my Winter quarter in school. I’m on spring break and with the constant raining it seems like I might just stay in bed all week long. That’s a good thing for you guys: We get to place more music content on the site and I can gear up for our next giveaway.

With that out of the way, Pusha T has come out of SXSW in Texas on fire with some G.O.O.D. music and now a new mixtape. It’s a highly anticipated mixtape that features collabs with Kanye West, Rick Ross, and 50 Cent. That’s the kind of power you get once your signed to a music label like Kanye’s.

There isn’t a bigger music event in California than the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. This year’s Coachella event draws big interest from music lovers as it packs some of the biggest names in music headlining the show: Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, and Kanye West. Other bands and artists set to perform include Interpol, Mumford & Sons, The National, and Eliza Doolittle (I just had to) among others.
