Today's Subjects: ----------------- Favorites of 2011 [valrichardson@igc.org] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:58:48 -0500 (GMT-05:00) From: valrichardson@igc.org Subject: Favorites of 2011 Greetings, I'm sending along the playlists and archive links of my two recent shows at WPKN-FM (Bridgeport, Connecticut) that highlighted some of my favorites of 2011. It isn't all Ecto by any means, but there are a lot of Ecto artists present. I usually play a couple of songs from each of the albums. My own rule is that I can play an album on these best of shows if it didn't come out in 2011 but I heard it for the first time and really, really liked it. The only one of these pre-2011 releases present in these shows was the Martha Wainwright album where she recorded a bunch of Edith Piaf songs. If I had to pick a top five out of all of these, it would be 1. Tune Yards _Who Kill_ 2. SMOD _SMOD_ (SMOD is a young trio from Mali. One of the members is the son of Amadou and Mariam) 3. King Creosote & Jon Hopkins _Diamond Mine_ 4. Bjork _Biophilia_ 5. My Brightest Diamond _All Things Will Unwind_ Other particular faves were the CDs by Dengue Fever/Sarah Jarosz (Young bluegrass artist. Very worth checking out if you haven't heard her)/Thao & Mirah/Gillian Welch/BallakC) Sissoko & Vincent Segal/Three Metre Day (Out of Canada, members of the Henrys, VERY worth checking out)/David Lynch. - --Valerie Part I, January 3: http://archives.wpkn.org/bookmarks/listen/29828 June Tabor & Oysterband -- That Was My Veil -- Ragged Kingdom June Tabor & Oysterband -- Love Will Tear Us Apart -- Ragged Kingdom - -- -- Laura Marling -- Sophia -- A Creature I Don't Know (Bonus Track Version) Laura Marling -- All My Rage -- A Creature I Don't Know (Bonus Track Version) - -- -- Emmy The Great -- "Paper Forest (In The Afterglow of Rapture)" -- Virtue Emmy the Great -- Dinosaur Sex -- Virtue Peggy Sue -- Funeral Beat -- Acrobats (Bonus Version) - -- -- "King Creosote & Jon Hopkins" -- Your Own Spell -- Diamond Mine "King Creosote & Jon Hopkins" -- Bats In the Attic -- Diamond Mine Brian Eno -- breath of crows -- Drums Between The Bells - -- -- The Unthanks -- Close the Coalhouse Door -- Last Florence + The Machine -- What the Water Gave Me -- What the Water Gave Me - Single Florence + The Machine -- No Light, No Light -- Ceremonials (Deluxe Version) - -- -- Imogen Heap -- Minds Without Fear -- Minds Without Fear - Single Pomplamoose -- River Shiver -- River Shiver - Single Pomplamoose -- Bust Your Knee Caps -- Bust Your Knee Caps - Single - -- -- BjC6rk -- Crystalline -- Biophilia David Lynch -- Good Day Today -- Crazy Clown Time David Lynch -- Movin' On -- Crazy Clown Time - -- -- Smod -- Ca chante -- Smod Smod -- Les dirigeants africains -- Smod Femi Kuti -- Tell Me -- Femi Vs.
