Things I listened to in 2011

I like music. Do you like music?

This is mostly (but not all) recent music, but what it all has in common is that I listened to and enjoyed it in 2011.

Here’s a list of the songs featured:

1. Basement Jaxx - Raindrops (from Basement Jaxx vs Metropole Orkest; iTunes; Amazon)
2. Bonobo - Animals (from Black Sands; iTunes; Amazon)
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Ethiopia (from I’m With You; iTunes; Amazon)
4. Electric President - Feathers (from The Violent Blue; iTunes; Amazon)
5. Owl City - The Yacht Club (from All Things Bright and Beautiful; iTunes; Amazon)
6. The National - Exile Vilify (from the game Portal 2; available as a single; iTunes; Amazon)
7. Ico - You Were There (from the game Ico; soundtrack exists if you can find it)
8. Way Out West - Survival (from We Love Machine; iTunes; Amazon)
9. Big Giant Circles feat. Jeff Ball - Thunderstruck (from 25YEARLEGEND, a remix album based on the game series The Legend of Zelda; available for free)
10. Radiohead - Separator (from The King of Limbs; iTunes; Amazon)

The final background picture in #5 is from here.

I arbitrarily limited myself to 10 songs; otherwise I might have never finished it. Here were some runners-up, which almost made the cut:

• Caia - Remembrance (from The Magic Dragon;iTunes;Amazon)
• Moby - After (from Destroyed;iTunes;Amazon)
• Basement Jaxx - Samba Magic (from Atlantic Jaxx Recordings;Amazon)
• Orbital - Don’t Stop Me (single;iTunes;Amazon)
• Yasunori Mitsuda - The Beginning and the End (from Myth: The Xenogears Orchestral Album;Amazon)
• GaMeBoX - Subsonic Sparkle (from Sonic the Hedgehog: The Sound of Speed, another remix album;available for free)

It was fun to make. I might do it again next year.
