Best Albums of 2011

It's that time of year again, folks. Time to objectively evaluate a completely subjective topic, music. I'm talkin' Albums of the Year lists. I'm sure that Dan, Daniel, Eric, Tyler, Mason, Blaine, Justin, and others will say they are making a Top Albums list, but rest assured they will all fail just like last year, leaving only mine, the originator, progenitor, OG, and granddaddy of all Top Album lists.

Smack talk aside, let's get down to the methodology. Simply put, there isn't one. Last year's track-by-track, whole album, sum, divide by tracks+1 nonsense was time consuming and ultimately fruitless. I still would have ordered the albums the same, except The Suburbs would have been higher. Sorry, Winny-pooh.

So this year I'm just going to give you my favorite albums, 20-1. Here we go.

SXSW Recap!

My whole body hurts. A week of little sleep, lots of walking, the occasional open bar, and most importantly GREAT MUSIC has culminated in SXSunday. Exhausted and still putting this International Trade paper off, here's a recap of my SXSW.
