Well, I’m a little late on this, but I figured I’d throw it up for posterity’s sake (so your kids can read it on Tumblr someday too!). Below are my Top 15 albums and Top 10 songs of 2011. It was a good year!
If you would like to see a more multi-media-esque presentation with pictures and words I wrote about these albums and songs, you can check out a PDF here. Don’t ask me why I didn’t just write those words here. Also, don’t ask me why I am hosting a PDF on Mediafire. It is all very backwards. God, just stop asking questions.
Anyways, for those of you who just want to cut to the chase, here you go:

New post on the blog! I used tonight’s Parks and Recreation premiere as an excuse to do some Jean-Ralphio and Tom fan art. Plus: Bonus only-mildly-accurate Ben Schwartz sketch.
This is amazing. Annie Wu, you are a hero. Thank you Annie and thank you to everyone who tweeted this pic to me. The season has officially started- Parks and Rec- Thursdays at 8:30pm on NBC.
Nice!

As far as I’m concerned, the kid in this video is a national treasure and we should track the rest of his life with the same enthusiasm as we did with the Nirvana cover baby.
I never thought I would watch a video with the sentence ”Kim will be wearing Vera Wang!” multiple times, but there ya go.
