Best of 2011 in no order, as opposed to New Order (wouldn't all those New Order songs have been sooooo much better if Mr. Ian had not offed himself?).

Veil by Tim Berne, Jim Black, Nels Cline
The sound of a Jazz band shoved into a cannon and shot at your face!!!

Parallax by Atlas Sound
This guy creeps me out. If the dirty parts of your psyche learned to croon...

Neverendless by Cave
Maybe a Krautrock tribute band, but is that so bad?

Waters by Waters
Rock, not Rawk. Good tunes with a rather odd production...

David Comes to Life by Fucked Up
Tuneful screaming from a guy with lots of back hair.

Wild Flag by Wild Flag
I sure miss Sleater-Kinney.

Dreamers' Christmas by John Zorn
Christmas all year long!

Bad As Me by Tom Waits
Sexy hobo music. I mean it!

Mozart The String Quartets by Amadeus String Quartet
You need some culture!

The Republican Primary Debates
Never has crazy been so funny. Republicans suck.
