I in no way consider myself an authority, or in any position to tell anyone else what the 'Best' songs or albums were of the past year. The most I can do is give you a combination of what I consider my absolute favorites of 2011. Some may be incredibly familiar, and some very obscure, but hopefully, as with all of my mixes, you'll come out of it comforted by some songs that you love and intrigued by some tracks you've never heard before.
I hope you all have an incredible holiday season and a happy new year. Thank you all so much for your support and listens over the past few years, it means more to me than you may ever know.
And here's to these amazing artists, and the others who weren't included but absolutely deserved to be - may they continue to gift us with their incredible musics for the coming year and years.
*** Dntel - Anywhere Anyone (Pearson Sound Beatless Reduction) was sadly cut from the recording - however, everyone should go listen to it now to make up for it
