A cat named Hiri recently hit me up. Told me he make's some music and I should check it out. So I did, and I dig it. Hiri and his crew DEFMUSICMOVEMENT have gained a pretty big following for being so young in Rochester, pretty stoked to see where their music heads.

Best Of 2011

2011-12-31T17:10:00.031-05:00

Hi there, this is Jeremy Burke doing a guest post on cnote evil. So here we are, the last day of 2011. This year has been a great one for music on all levels. Electronic music has taken over the mainstream, there's a new breed of hiphop, pop-punk is back in full swing, and bands are reuniting left and right. It's an exciting time to be an active music fan in general. A lot of good records came out this last year, making it tough to fit them all on one list, but I was able to narrow it down to a Top 20 Albums Of 2011. The following, counting down from 20 and in order, is said list. I'm sure this will change as time goes by, but for now, here it is in all it's glory. Enjoy...

20. Fucked Up - David Comes To Life

19. Kaskade - Fire & Ice

18. Kendrick Lamar - Section 80

17. Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra

16. Neon Indian - Era Extranda

15. Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes

14. The Weeknd - House of Balloons

13. Clams Casino - Instrumentals

12. Toro Y Moi - Underneath The Pine

11. Gotye - Making Mirrors

10. Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto

9. James Blake - James Blake

8. A$AP Rocky - LiveLoveA$AP

7. Pictureplane - Thee Physical

6. Ryan Adams - Ashes & Fire

5. Owen - Ghost Town

4. Drake - Take Care

3. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne

2. Bon Iver - Bon Iver

And the #1 Album of the Year for me goes to...

1. M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.

Some of my favorite shows of the year...

- Kanye West Coachella set (@ Coachella)

- American Nightmare reunion (@ Wonderland Ballroom - Boston, MA)

- Foo Fighters secret show (@ Spaceland 200 cap room - Silverlake, CA)

- Beach House (@ Music Box - Los Angeles, CA)

- Explosions In The Sky (@ Hollywood Forever Cemetery - Los Angeles, CA)

- M83 (@ Music Box - Los Angeles, CA)

- Hot Rod Circuit reunion (@ Trobadour - Los Angeles, CA)

- Paul Simon (Gibson Amphitheater - Los Angeles, CA)

Thanks for reading, everyone. It's been a good year. Next one will be even better.
