“Year-end_lists” (Used 30 times)

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!

Dear friends, fans, enemies, room mates, internet buddies,

a great year is coming to its end. Again we have tried our best to serve you as much of our music as we could, and to be as good and new and interesting and worthwhile and fancy and funny and special as possible.

Considering the fact we all have daytime jobs (and secret identities) we are quite content about this year's outcome. We would like to thank everyone who helped us carry the torch for the free music cause, you know who you are.

2010 is a good-looking number despite it is the first decade of the 21st century. We also have a very good date, 10 / 10 / 10 (October 10th, 2010) where people try to make it as their special day. Also by this year, Indonesia had a big, striking pornography issue. The man on the cover art is Ariel, he is a famous musician from Indonesia. His two private-cellphone videos which he make-love with 2 other celebrities has been uploaded on the net. He tells everyone that the man on the video is not him.  Anyway, this mix feature a few tracks I like on FMA, and I just realized that I don't listen to many songs than in 2009. As this year is the first decade of the century, I think it would be much interesting to make a mix of entire FMA's archives rather than just top ten of year 2010. However, let's end this year with some noises!
