Great one, mj/rf. Thanks.

"Screws Get Loose" -- Those Darlins

 

That whole Those Darlins record is great!

If my iTunes is to be believed, most of my favorite songs of 2011 weren't released in 2011, but this one was:

Dum Dum Girls "He Gets Me High"

Danelectros and flowers...what's not to like.

There was only one--Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside!

This is so hard to choose so I will go with Gotye's 'somebody I used to know' featuring Kymbra although Mastadon's 'the hunter' is a certain tie. So far this has gone number  in Australia, New Zealand, Belgium and Germany. Considering it is all samples and not played by a band this is rare for me to like this style of music.

Here it is right here, not sure how I missed this!
