Our ears were kept mighty busy this year with its exquisite music offerings. It seemed as though we were discovering new bands — or being reassured that our old faves still got it — every other week. As music junkies, this is the ideal. 2011, beat that, hot shot!. Check out our favorite music of the year after the cut.
Gorillaz melted our hearts and ears with Plastic Beach so were excited to hear that they would have a second album out by Christmas. Recorded on an iPad over 32 days on the road, The Fall is stripped down chill yet still good head-bopping fun. Thanks for the great Christmas present, Damon and co.!
Listen to the album in its entirety over hither.
2010 was an amazing year for…everything. We got this blog up and running on the regular, even got a bit of a following (thank you all) and we got to experience some beautiful things together including great shows.
It feels like we got everything we hoped for (with the exception of Radiohead and Daft Punk concerts but we’re crossing our fingers for 2011, haha). Surprisingly, every single show we went to turned our brains inside out and made us happy to be alive one way or another (even when suckers messed with our Zen thing). This year went so deep down in our history, we fear 2011 may not top it, definitely a hard one to forget. Especially after we wrote and took pics of a great deal of it :)
After the jump, indulge in all of our 2010 concert-related craziness and here’s to equally, if not more, painfully exciting shows in 2011.
