I’m officially not doing an albums of the year list. There have been so few that I wholeheartedly enjoy, I’d have to do a top 10 that starts at 8. But that is not to say that there wasn’t some exceptional new music this year. Click HERE for my favorite tracks from 2011. I’m hoping that 2012 will pick up the pace, but if not, I’ll just further recede into the vintage music that I love so much. I hope you enjoy listening to the mixes as much as I like making them.
