2 The Finalist – Alex’s Best Songs of 2011
Well, it took some knuckle grinding and sleepless nights but here are my 13 finalists for songs of the year. You’ll find a little of everything on my list this year…chillwave, indiepop, electronic dance, hipster bubblegum rap, shoegazy downtempo and even an Arcade Fire cover.
Now, it goes without saying that anytime you put together a “best of” list, you are bound to leave off a few gems and this year was no exception. Friends, Glass Candy, TV Girl and The Weekend all deserved to be on list as well but as the saying goes, when you prioritize everything, you actually prioritize nothing…
Tune-in to this week’s podcast to find out which five of the thirteen songs below made the cut.
