Best of 2011!

Today is the last day of 2011, so it is time for the best of 2011 Happyoblivion show!  I'll play the best songs from 2011, and then in the last part of the show we will count down the top 10 albums of the year, from an indie pop perspective, of course.  This means full-length albums, with all songs worth paying your hard-earned money for--these are albums that are well done from beginning to end.

Today is the holiday show--all kinds of great indie holiday tunes.  I had over 60 hours of music to cull down to a 3 hour show.  Enjoy and happy holidays!

Next week will be the best of 2011!

Next week will be the holiday show, then in 2 weeks, the best of 2011. Leave a comment if you have a favorite from 2011.  It's a work in progress.  DJ BBQ and guest Sam were on the alumni show afterwards today! 

Some great phone calls today--my favorite was from Steve at Ritz Cameras in Ala Moana, who told me Dick Dale dropped by his store.  Dec 24th will be the holiday show, and Dec 31 will be the Best of 2011! 

Losing my voice again, so here's the place to look up the playlist for today.  Many thanks also to the ADHDJ for covering the last hour of my show for me today. For the rest of the show, check out ADHDJ's playlist at Stories from the Sea...
