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.
