newyorker: The Best Music of 2011: The British Singers [Above,] a screen capture of a Google spreadsheet filled with the names of albums from 2011 that made an impression on me. The rows are arrayed in descending order of release date, a mild attempt to present data without weighting. For individual songs, I made an “S/FJ 2011 BEST OF” playlist on Spotify, which is missing key songs that are not in that music service’s catalog (like Charli XCX’s “Stay Away,” which would be in my top three). I will now ruin all of this even-handed nonsense with commentary. - Sasha Frere-Jones writes about the best music of 2011: http://nyr.kr/sGQVR7
