constantly just searching for that vibe
So, as usual when making top lists there are albums that you miss out on or just simply forget about. Here are a few albums that could have made my top list of 2011. This time I have even managed to put in Spotify links to some of the albums.
That’s it for now, enjoy the music!
So it is that time of the year, when I get to sum up the best albums of the year. It has been difficult since there have been so many fantastic albums this year. Finally I have come up with a definite list. In fact there were so many great albums so I had to make a “top-20″ instead of the usual “top-10″. Anyways enjoy the list and let me know if you agree, disagree or have any other comments.

02. Ryan Adams – Ashes & Fire

It was Helen who introduced me to this artist a while back. at first I didn’t think too much about it. But then I ran into him again and started to really listen to his music. All i can say is DAMN! Now I can’t really stop listening to this brilliant album, called “Every Kingdom”. This one is surely going to end up very high on my list of the best albums of 2011. Check out the gorgeous video for “Old Pine” below as well as a couple of other songs from this great album!

I’ve been waiting for something new from Anton Björkenvall. I love his album “Travel”. Suddenly this video appeared on his Facebook page. A band called “the Hardships. A pretty good tune to say the least. I love his voice.
i think we might have to call off the competition for album of the year 2011. head over to

i do not know anything about this guy, but this song just blew me away:
this is not bad either:
this song has been constantly logged in my head the last couple of weeks. a really amazing voice.
just a quick note before i head off to Stockholm to watch Foo Fighters (although i might be more excited to see the opening act Band of Horses!)
Anyways, Graham Colton is nice enough to let us grab his new album for free, for a week. go get it now at the excellent website NoiseTrade:
