mixtape: The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence
The Weeknd dropped another free mixtape on his site last night. For those keeping track at home, that's the 3rd album this year. And they've all been really high quality. I can tell because I don't like R&B, but I love this stuff. Echoes of Silence has a Michael Jackson cover ("Dirty Diana") and a track produced by perhaps the most buzz-producing producer of 2011, Clams Casino ("The Fall"). Really though, The Weeknd doesn't need help with production duties. This shit sounds goooood. Download link is above, and download links for his other two albums are after the jump below.
feature: Top Ten From Oh-Eleven
This is my favorite stuff from 2011. There's even an album from 2010 in here, how many year-end lists can say that?! boosh.
This is my lazy Top Ten From Oh-Eleven. I had a top 50 but decided to whittle it down to 10 albums so the numbering/ordering actually meant something and did not make my brain explode, causing spinal fluid to leak out my ears, rendering music listening impossible, ensuring I never write another music critique again.
If you don't have the means to download or purchase this music, I highly recommend quickly signing up for a free Spotify account to stream these records using the provided links (every hyper-linked album also goes to Spotify). I have provided alternate stream links for albums which are not on Spotify. For those of you who are boycotting Spotify for not adequately compensating artists and/or indie-labels: while I tend to agree with this sentiment, I am still using Spotify links here because they are quick, easy, and free for the moment. And for God's sake, do not just plug these artists into Pandora. Or at least do so after listening to the actual albums first--Pandora, unlike, Spotify, actually does compensate artists and labels fairly.
