“You might be wondering how I filtered out the fuzz and narrowed down all the incredible releases I came across in 2011 into a succint three hour block. Well I guess the answer is a mystery to us both. I was quite daunted by the task because there were so many great tunes offered up by creative music makers this year. I was putting off the mission day after day after day, afraid the task would drag on into the next decade. To my great amazement the universe smiled on me because I awoke this morning with a scroll tucked tightly into my belt. Emblazoned in pure light on this parchment were the following songs. These are indeed some of my favorite tunes of the year so I guess fate has a way of working it all out.” – frosty
