Here is my list of the songs I liked best in 2011, which will be the last one we offer here. I only adhered to three rules with this list, really: 1. The song had to be officially released in 2011, 2. I could only select one song for any artist, and 3. The list [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-31T18:11:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3958948/the-11-best-songs-of-2011/

All week we are featuring the best and most popular articles that appeared on Hypebot in 2011. This one is by regular contributor Hisham Dahud. Atlanta-based indie rock group Manchester Orchestra has launched a unique and interactive fan experience for their song, Virgin - a track thats been described as a song to the fans by the band.

It was an OK year. Nothing more, nothing less. Timber Timbre and their album "Creep On Creepin' On" was without a doubt, the album I've listened to and seen performed live the most all year. Taylor Kirk's dark, swampy sound speaks to me. As for the rest of my top 5, these albums will be listened by yours truly for years [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-26T22:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3964560/top-15-des-clips-prfrs-deddie-sortis-en-2011/

We all love lists, and we all love sarcasm. Though, I think its important to reflect upon the last year of music, Im going to do so through the use of a list. It was a fantastic year full of awesome albums, and Im going to count down a bunch of my favorites, and give you something to listen to while reading. 20.

No song was more infectious this year than Foster the People's Pumped up Kids. What started as a catchy indie rock diddy took off and became an international hit rocketing up the Billboard charts and propelling rock album sales. Most people still don't know the song is about a school shooting. Maybe that why despite its popular success, it's still retained its indie cred.

This has been a great year for music videos. 2011 saw Thom Yorke's seizure, Lana Del Rey's lips, and Tyler, the Creator's vomit. But none of those come close to what the lesser known artists -the ones with the most at stake- have created. Somehow, directors in countries like Finland are finding emerging artists in [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-15T16:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3932043/manchester-orchestra-asks-fans-to-sing-along-why-its/

Music videos accomplish what has never been done before in the history of media: They make experimentation a commercial enterprise. They afford musicians, filmmakers, and multimedia artists the chance to have their craziest ideas not only produced, but shown to a large audience. What's more, in the age of Internet video, indie productions are now on equal footing with million-dollar productions. There's no visual medium more diverse or creative than music videos. Thirty years after the launch of MTV, the format is not only alive and well, but it's matured, expanded, and become a part of our global culture.
