My 2011 Mixtape
It’s the most magical time of year. Yes, I’m speaking of the time of year when every armchair music critic, myself included, starts reeling off their “best of” lists. Since with last year’s list I finally gave up pretending that I ever listen to full albums anymore, here is a mix of the songs from 2011 that captured my attention. If you’re on Spotify, you can listen to the whole thing there.
