Hey so another list of 2011’s top albums with some brief reviews to catch you up on anything you may have missed is now up on the wonderful music blog. You should probably check it out if you don’t want to be a social pariah at your next gathering/function with your friends. And as always keep up with our songs of the day and here I will apply the same bandwagon technique by saying “Everyone is reading it!” Who said that quote? I did. Anyways, enjoy!

Love always,

WUOG
