Best of 2011 - Tracks, 11-25 (see next post for dl)

We’re coming down the stretch, and these are so close to my heart it’s almost suffocating. But not really. I heart them very much? The playlist includes some live versions because youtube hates me. And embedding. For some reason? If it sounds off, try listening to it straight on youtube or something.

Note: OMISSIONS!!!! There’s a song I recently listened to that had I heard it in 2011 (or before I made this list) it would’ve made it somewhere on this list: T-Ara’s Roly Poly (holla Jaze!). So I included the song on this playlist, but not officially (so it won’t be in the dl package). I also realized half way into posting this list that I’d forgotten to include a couple of songs BY MISTAKE - Beirut’s Santa Fe and Madison’s #1. The perils of being me. OH WELL. Here goes.

11. Easy Please Me by Katy B

12. My mistakes by Eleanor Friedberger

13. All the shine by Childish Gambino

14. Listen up by M.I.A.

15. Why don’t you like me? by The Lovely Eggs

16. I want you by Summer Camp

17. Car song (feat. Santigold) by Spank Rock

18. Hello (Feat. Dragonette) by Martin Solveig

19. Bait by Wale

20. You know what I mean by Cults

21. If I had a boat by James Vincent McMorrow

22. Coming down by Dum Dum Girls

23. 1+1 by Beyonce

24. Till the world ends by Britney Spears

25. Heavy metal lover by Lady Gaga

Keep watching the throne, Ye & Jay. Childish Gambino is terrorizing the kingdom something pretty fierce. Camp (Nov. 15) is, as they say, the sh*t. I want it, now.

Rolling in the deep (Jamie Xx remix feat. Childish Gambino) - Adele

While I’m not a particular fan of Adele and her much touted vocal, Jamie Xx is quickly becoming one of my favourite remix artists. He stripped the song down to its bare vocal and added the suddenly hot Childish Gambino’s. It really shouldn’t work, but Jamie is some kind of wonder.
