Weekly Music
December 22nd, 2011
I was going to wait to post this until next week, the last week of 2011, but I have something else for next week and figured you could use a little something over the holiday break to jam to – the best songs of 2011. I usually do a round-up of my favorite albums of the year, but who cares? Wouldn’t you rather hear my favorite songs of 2011? I think so. 2011 was a fantastic year for music, and I get so nostalgic listening to some of these – for a time that seems so incredibly far away. I’ll save my thoughts on this year as a whole for later, but as for music, it was so great. I reconnected with music when I moved to LA – between spending time in my car and time at my desk as a freelancer. It kept me going, alive.
In no particular order:
- Settle Down Kimbra
- Stop Twin Sister
- Surgeon St. Vincent
- How Come You Never Go There Feist
- You And I Washed Out
- The Rip Tide Beirut
- Eleven Thao & Mirah
- Shuffle A Dream Little Dragon
- Somebody That I Used To Know Gotye
- Still Sound Toro Y Moi
- Sadness Is A Blessing Lykke Li
- Barton Hollow The Civil Wars
- Truth Alexander
- Lorelai Fleet Foxes
- He Won’t Go Adele
- Big Burned Hand Iron & Wine
- True Blue Dirty Beaches
- Origins Tennis

Hello, Kate!
I just found your blog through Miss Moss and I want to say a big THANK YOU for this mix. I have always loved music but i just realized that for the past year i’ve been stuck in some velvet rut, i guess.I didn’t even listen to music anymore. This mix made me rediscover the beauty of music again, i actually feel shivers.What a beautiful moment!
So thank you, really. And Merry Christmas!
