Liz B's Top FMA Picks for 2011

Photo CC by-nc, ABC Archives

Last year I had a tough time narrowing down my year-end picks, and now as 2011 comes to a close, I find myself in a similar predicament. I dig through the FMA every week and discover so many gems to share on my podcast and radio show that it is nearly impossible for me to narrow down my list and deliver a "top 10."

My solution to this problem: screw it!

I made two mixes of my top picks of 2011, a short list for the ADD generation (below) and a longer, more complete list for extended play (after the jump). Hope you dig 'em both, and can't wait for more incredible FMA discoveries in 2012!

VLADRM stands for...

Viva L'american Death Ray Music sprung out of Memphis in the late '90s: originally Nicholas Ray and Jeff Bouck of 68 Comeback, along with Harlan T. Bobo, who played in the Limes with Nicholas. Although the lineup has fluctuated over the years due to members' geographical separations, other musical distractions, etc, VLADRM's sound is still capable of restoring your faith in rock and roll.

From glam to garage, dub to dark experimentalism, VLADRM will appeal to fans of the Fall and Roxy Music in all the best ways. The band swung by to play an awesome live set on my radio show in late November, in celebration of the release of their new record "Miles of Smiles, Towns of Frowns" on Mexican Summer.

In its current incarnation, the band's lineup includes Nicholas (ex-Golden Triangle, One Year Band, Other Crimes, the Limes) on guitar and vox, Jeff (Polyphonic Spree, Cause For Applause) on drums, and new member Kunal (Maury & Moosh Moosh) on what the band calls "gui-bass."

Take a listen to a few of my favorite songs from their set below.
