As we are beginning to prepare our year-end lists, it's time to look back to 2011 and appreciate the albums that we missed here at Earbuddy. It occurs to me that critics have an often undiscussed power that isn't afforded to artists. Yes, we get to snipe at creative people without having [...]

Feb 9, 2012, 10:30am T-Sides
Love Me Now, When I'm Gone, Love Me None By Taylor K. Long For an emotional R&B singing moniker, Christopher Breaux aka Frank Ocean couldn’t have done much better. Writers often use water metaphors – an ocean, in particular – to represent feelings, emotions, and hidden...

The Best Albums of 2011

Jan 17, 2012, 4:02pm The World Forgot
I fully understand that my best of the year list is usually published far after many of the hip new kids.  The World Forgot has long been a dessert blog, if you will, that might not provide enough sustenance on a day to day basis to get you through life, but I do provide a sweet finish.  On top of that I've been able to listen through all of the albums I heard in 2011 for an extra month.  In all reality this is the definitive list.  Enjoy the music. 01 : Fleet [...]

Albums of the Year, Part 1: Fleet Foxes, “Helplessness Blues”

Jan 5, 2012, 9:04am T-Sides
All My Life I Will Wait To Attain It By Taylor K. Long At some point in our 20s, we inevitably feel what can best be described as a burden of proof. We begin noticing milestones, the age of achievements. How Michelangelo was 29 when he finished “David.” How Franz Liszt was famous and touring Europe by the age of 30. The stream of brilliant young minds is endless; every generation will have its Mark Zuckerbergs and Beyoncés and Téa Obrehts to compare themselves to. This feeling causes us to scratch at the walls, imagined or otherwise, desperate to push [...]
