Song of the day: Radiohead - "Codex"

Awesome performance of "Codex" live From The Basement.

Best Albums of 2011: The Subways - Money And Celebrity

Money And Celebrity is third record from these british indie rockers. In compare to their two previous records (Young For Eternity and All Or Nothing), this one is little more pop. However, in this case, it doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing.

These guys have more energy than any other similar band. Their every second song has potential to be a single. The Subways really know how to make catchy energy songs that have even more guts live.

In overal, Money And Celebrity is one of the best albums of 2011 because it is careless and it always get you in a party mood. Especially two first songs "It's A Party" and "We Don't Need Monet To Have A Good Time" have youthful spirit.

Best Albums of 2011: Bon Iver - Bon Iver

I think that this is the most beautiful record of 2011. This second self-titled album from Bon Iver has such nice melodies, maybe little sad but still full of joy. This album is more layered, more diverse and more interesting than their debut For Emma, Forever Ago, which came out in 2008.

Beautiful guitar at the beginning of first song "Perth" suggests you in what spirit this album will continue. Bon Iver isn't beautiful just in instrumental way, but in lyrical as well. I think that this record moved folk music to another level. Nobody has ever done something like this and that makes this record even better.

I enjoy listening to this album a lot because it always calms me down and makes me wanna just chill and forget about my problems. How do you feel about this record?
