Well, 2011. You were quite the year! So much so that I’ve only been able to recover enough to think about you a full week into 2012. Crazy, huh? New jobs, lots of change, oodles of shenanigans, and yes, lots of good music. So much so, that I undoubtedly missed vast quantities of things that I really should have got to. Ho hum.
So what things did Skye like? Blimey. I just looked at the Excel spreadsheet of this year’s releases (see how cool Skye is!), and there’s a lot of stuff on there. However it’s fair to say that I do actually have a favourite record of 2011, despite my general resistance to ranking things. I know, crazy times, huh, maybe the Mayans are right after all.

Official info is as follows: *Feist is inviting you to bring more than your fall coat to her upcoming Canadian tour; unlike many party hosts, she is asking you to bring food. The Feist concert food drive (in tandem with the Canadian Association of Food Banks) will take place at each tour stop along her upcoming 13 city tour. Feist encourages attendees to bring food donations and/or monetary contributions to help benefit their local Community Food Bank. Those who contribute will be rewarded with a chance to win a special prize from Feist.* Further details here.
