GIMME TINNITUS

Time for a little bit of aural time travel. Let’s look back, reflect, and contemplate… what were we listening to one year ago?

Listen to the April 2011 Mix and find out.

You can stream (and scrobble) all the songs in this mix using the ex.fm player at the bottom of the page OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your choice.

If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions as we are way too lazy to zip and upload every single Monthly Mix.

Also, if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

And, if you haven’t done it already, make sure you check out the other Monthly Mixes.

I am here to apologize for slightly detracting from your concert experience all year long. Why? I take photos at shows. I know it can be annoying. That said, I try my best to keep it to a minimum and usually don’t use a flash (and then ramp up the contrast and exposure later). Here are my favorite 12 photos from 2011.

It is not surprising that my top two photos were taken at Glasslands, which has a stunning background and great lighting. My overall favorite venue for photos has to be Death by Audio with their awesome murals — the only problem there is the lighting. In the coming year, I look forward to getting some great shots at Big Snow Buffalo Lodge and 285 Kent. And you reading this, go out and see a show at your local DIY venue.
