Wrapping up 2011

So, it’s essentially December. Man, what a year, amirite? Some really great stuff came out this year (see our Deer Tick and Wilco reviews), some stuff was just horrible (no need to spend any time actually reviewing the new Nickelback album), and some stuff was kinda like, well what’s the point? (yeah, I’m talking to you Kanye + Jay-Z). Anyway, like we did last year, we’re in the midst of coming up with our Best of….for 2011. It’ll be the usual, albums, concerts, songs, stories, whatever we may have time to write about. I’m sure RB will have some great comments and yours truly will undoubtedly have some awesome comments, since I don’t have any grad school til January and will actually have time to write. Just a warning, I’m probably gonna be all over the Arctic Monkeys, and with good reason I swear! Now’s a good time to determine whether or not what was money better spent, the $9.99 from iTunes for the new Beady Eye album, or the $0.99 spent on Amazon for Lady Gaga’s new album.
