I have been relatively out of the music loop this past year. I’m getting old and new stuff is starting to sounds like Gosh-Darn-Fangled-Racket!!!-Is-this-slop-what-the-kids-are-listening-to-these-days?!?!-What-is-a-Skrillex?!??

So no “Best of 2011” from me, but these songs/bands make me excited for the new year. Make sure to load this onto your iPod and rock it post-2012-Apocalypse à la Denzel in the Book of Eli.
