Once every three months I list the best of what I heard in albums/songs/remixes for the quarter. I do this to personally keep up with all the awesome music I hear, as it ultimately helps me at the end of the year when I do my overall listing for the previous twelve months. I also do it to introduce you cool cats to tunes you may have missed independently.
This week the second of a two-part series dedicated to SXSW 2011
Playlist:
Dominique Young Unique – What About Me?
Tennis – Marathon
Baths – Maximalist
Sharon Van Etten – Don’t Do It
DOM – Living In America
Thrift Store Cowboys – Silence Depends On the Dose
Spring break is upon us, and with it the finest week of the year, SXSW. As is customary, my friends and I are gonna RAGE and make like Andrew W.K. and PARTY HARD and all that good stuff. New parties and showcases are being announced every day, and next week I hope to have a list of my picks for ones to check out. In the meantime, however, after the jump is a list of bands I am hoping to see this year while meandering around downtown Austin, and you should try your damndest to see them as well.
We are now a month and a half into 2011, so it’s safe to say all the best-of lists and wrapping up 2010 is done and over with. I had my own recap, as I am wont to do every year, but, as is usual, whilst going through other lists, I happened upon some albums I missed out on. Here are fifteen great albums I overlooked, and, if you did too, you should check them out.
Lower Dens – Twin-Hand Movement
