As during a particular brutal zombie apocalypse, office buildings around the country (and presumably world) are barren — the only survivors hunched in their cubicles, tapping out futile missives into the abyss. Such desertion can only mean one thing: New Year’s is just around the corner. Which can, to further this theme, only mean one more thing: Time for another “Best of 2011″ list.
The New Year is glinting on the horizon like a not-so-miragelike mirage, and the “Best of 2011″ lists are coming fast and furious. Consequently — being the bandwagon-jumpers that we are — we’re back with another edition of “Top Music & Tech Innovations of 2011,” featuring: The Drums, Class Actress, PUJOL, AM and Bosco Delrey.
Every December, musicians are beset by a case of anxiety — an anxiety that they subsequently push down into the bottoms of their stomachs with the help of a healthy douse of aloofness. And from whence does that anxiety spring? The ubiquitous glut of “Best of 2011″ lists, of course. Well, this year we decided to turn the tables, allowing musicians to play critic and choose their favorite music and tech innovations of 2011. Antacids sold separately.
