Has it been a year already?
It’s been some time since I produced a radio show. Some of y’all may remember Yr Weekend Starts Now, my weekly radio show at Newtown Radio. Getting in the studio and playing music and discussing music for a couple hours, it’s the best! I miss it.
And so: Professor Wexler and I built a new studio – still working out the kinks – and recorded a show to run through my list of Top Ten Albums of 2011. We’re a little rusty on the mics, we don’t even play any music until the eighth minute and it takes us almost two hours to get through the top ten albums but hey, there’s no rules with internet radio!

It’s That Time of Year Again!
These days it’s so easy to leak a mixtape or sell a single on iTunes, I believe it dilutes artists’ motivation to create a finished, polished album – a collection of tracks both innovative and inspiring as well as a damn fine listen from beginning to end. Â For my Top Ten Albums of 2010, I chose albums that I believe are exemplary, noteworthy accomplishments.
I counted down the Top Ten Albums of 2010 on my radio show, Yr Weekend Starts Now, which you can listen to here.
