Beyond The Wire's 2011 Rewind, Boomkat's Charts ranks high up on my list of favorite lists. Highly recommended reading, especially the smaller lists of musician's picks. I find artists talking about art to be an interesting diversion from critics talking about art.

Here are a few of my Favorites from 2011 that appear on Boomkat's List and all of them are available as FLAC downloads from Boomkat (in - as I found them - order):
