2011 in Review: Best Album

Jan 6, 12:52pm New England Royalty

2011 in Review: Best Album And so we come to the end of our review and begin to look ahead to the new year. Only thing left is to tip our hat to one of the greatest rap albums in the past few years. WTT effectively changed the game by allowing two of the most powerful artists in the business to rap about their experiences with models, private jets, and Maybachs. Subject matter aside, the music was more than incomprehensibly good and the concerts were instantly written into history. Play Paris 13 times in a row [...]

2011 In Review: Best Dance Craze

Dec 18, 2011, 1:19pm New England Royalty

2011 In Review: Best Dance Craze Welcome to the first of the year end series. We'll work hard to bring you a group of tracks that we think sum up 2011 nicely. There is no easier way to start than with The Rejectz's "Cat Daddy". With 2010's Dougie sitting on the left-coast-dance-takes-over-wo rld throne, the Cat Daddy managed to upheave a legend. If you haven't been caught trying the dance out at least once this year that means that you might actually be wheelchair bound, and consequently don't find the dance as exciting. For the rest of [...]

Jan 7, 2011, 2:13pm Drawer B

Drew Harkins is a man's man's man. Yes, that's one man too many. Please, bear with me. He likes to hunt, yet he not only understands but appreciates your penchant for Belle & Sebastian. This is some sort of meta art form that demonstrates an evolution beyond a mere man's man that Drew has somehow mastered. The ladies do not dislike this about him, either. Drew can effortlessly make you feel special by never calling you again. He blogs , too, bro. Here are his favorite records of 2010: 1. Deerhunter, Halcyon Digest (4AD) [...]

Happy New Year! — A 2010 "Retropackle."

Dec 31, 2010, 1:27pm Shh, Listen...

Hey, everyone! Happy New Year! I hope that you have a good one, and that you're surrounded by good food, friends, and music. It's been a long year over here (the epic dissertation struggle continues), and I haven't always been the most attentive (you're top of the list of New Year's Resolutions!)... but I wanted to thank everyone for all their love and support. I've been positively blown away by the amount of excellent music that has been sent my way, and the... well, legitimacy, I seem to have stumbled into. So, in 2011, I'll be stepping up [...]

Patrick Wall's Top Albums of 2010

Mr. Wall is a writer, editor and Doctor Zoidberg enthusiast from Columbia, S.C. He is the music editor of Free Times , contributes to Shuffle magazine and blogs infrequently at WeekendsOfSound . He is a founding member of the Meatsweats, whose sloppy post-punk has pleased nary a critic. Also, Mr. Wall is kind of an asshole.

Biding My Time…

Jesus. I have to post my list of the top 100 albums of 2010 on Friday and I haven't even really started yet. I guess I'm just waiting for the day when computers become self-aware and start to think and act for themselves. Maybe then Swan Fungus will learn how to write its own lists, and I can just sit back and drink bourbon and hang out while the website maintains itself. Or maybe I should just shut the fuck up and get to work, because I do not want to spend New Years Eve or New Years [...]

Al Jazeera's Year in Review

Dec 27, 2010, 3:17pm The Sly Oyster

It's hard to argue with Al Jazeera's list of the top 10 news stories of 2010 . You've Wikileaks, the Gaza flotilla, flooding in Pakistan, the BP oil spill, the World Cup, Chilean miner rescue, disasters in Haiti, the Icelandic volcano, and troubling trends in Europe. On the whole, we at Al Jazeera think this list represents the ten news stories that had the most global significance this year due to the magnitude of their political, environmental, economic or social consequences. We don't claim this survey to be infallible, or irrefutable—objectivity and analysis are [...]
