Yeah, what the hell. Why not?
In the interest of list-making and redeeming myself after the utter failure of barely listening to any new music in 2010 (especially not at all getting through the ambitious list I posted for myself of stuff I was going to listen to), here are the albums I’ve done in the past 3 months of 2011, in no particular order

I’m still mostly a punk at heart, but I like to think this list is proof of my tastes diversifying. Hopefully I’ll have more than 66 albums for 2012. I enjoyed practically all of them. The only ones I wouldn’t recommend are Dead Boys, New York Dolls, and Pere Ubu. Everything else is top-notch.
