Hello and welcome to my year-end list. I started my Albums of the Year post about 9 blogmonths (2 weeks) ago and realized very quickly that the majority of my favorite music from this year wasn’t on there. For me, 2011 was a big year for songs. Albums, singles, EPs, mixtapes, remixes, remix albums, free [...]

If new music makes you happy, then today is your happy day. In addition to full album streams of Girls’ Father, Son, Holy Ghost at The Hype Machine and Laura Marling’s A Creature I Don’t Know at The Guardian (due September 13 on Domino and True Panther, respectively), you can find early streams online of new [...]

Girls look for love with a Ford Mustang in the official clip for “Vomit”, above. Father, Son, Holy Ghost is due September 13 on True Panther.

New Girls very ironically titled “Vomit”, below. Father, Son, Holy Ghost is due September 13 on True Panther. Opposite of vomit. “Vomit” by Girls

Not sure that you’ll find me willing to deal with another all day commitment to FYF Fest (last year’s will call line and warm bottled water weren’t the best), but that doesn’t stop the 2011 [Indie-punk centric] line-up from having some great acts that I love.

If for some reason you’re a week behind on the new Girls EP (eating tons of food is a valid reason), their heartbreaking Broken Dreams Club is streaming in full over at Spinner. You can still download the lead-off single, “Heartbreaker”, for free. Stream: Girls Broken Dreams Club

A low key weekend tweet from @GIRLSsf and a new track, “Heartbreaker”, from their upcoming Broken Dreams Club (due November 22). Gift to ya’ll. “Heartbreaker” by Girls

Christopher Owens of Girls is “a little bit nervous” in the above video, but it had zero effect on his performance of gorgeous new track, “Oh My Love,” live from his bedroom as part of this full interview with director Travis Matthews. The clip is of the new song only, but I highly recommend watching [...]

Christopher Owens of Girls documented the band’s Feb/March European tour on his iPod Nano, and put together a string of clips for this very well done video diary. Despite listenings to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, the highlight of this is the background song “Angel” by UK band, Sonic Boom. It’s from the band’s 1990 [...]

As I skimmed through my iTunes and posts from the year, I realized very quickly that putting together a 40 track playlist to represent the best songs of 2009 was going to be impossible. And, according to Jay-Z, impossible takes a week. I don’t have that kind of time! So here’s My Poproks 49 Best [...]
