There was a ton of sweet music released this year. Although I couldn’t fit them in the top five (or forgot about them until, like, right now), I’d send props out to Rubblebucket Orchestra’s “Omega La La”, Jeff the Brotherhood’s “We Are the Champions,” Black Lips’ “Arabia Mountain”, J Rocc’s “Some Cold Rock Stuf”, Milk Maid’s “Yucca”, and Son of Salami’s “A Study in Eraserheadless Tape Recording.”

Oh, and I guess I’m supposed to tell you about myself in this space. Hey, guys, I’m Sarah. I work at Pure Pop, so I’m pretty sure I’m not in the running for the gift certificate, but doing a YearEnder seemed like a really good vehicle for avoiding the more important things I have to do. I’m also a senior at UVM, the program director of WRUV-FM, and the music editor for The Water Tower, UVM’s alternative (and coolest newspaper).

Shameless plug: I’ll be playing my favorite 40 songs of 2011 on my radio show next Monday (12/12) @ 6 PM on WRUV-FM 90.1/wruv.org.
