My favorite album of '11 was M83 - Hurry Up, We're dreaming



The list of artists he teamed up with in 2011 and now into 2012 is pretty impressive. Not only did I think Bon Iver Bon Iver was one of the best of 2011 but the random singles he and other artists scattered throughout the past year could have made another equally impressive album. The latest : Bon Iver with the Chieftains : Down by the willow garden http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/..._the_song.html
