weworemasks presents: grizzly’s year-end lists [year-end lists] (2011)

30 12 2011

And last/least, we have my list – Grizzly. You know me well, because I’m the one who didn’t have a real job for most of the year and spent time blogging, reviewing and bullshitting on/with/near weworemasks. And now that I have a job, I’ll be doing the same, like a boss. Regardless, I’m sure many of you are quite familiar with the shit that I post, but I’ve compiled lists for my favorite albums, EPs, mixtapes and TV shows (and the honorable mentions for each). Everything else can be found in this bulk of awesome mess below. Love all yall. Looking forward to 2012.

video: the niceguys – ‘sino flo (2011)

30 12 2011

the niceguys are gearing up towards a spring 2012 release for the james kelley record and wanted to put out a teaser for a new song they have called “casino.” the clip’s very much in the vein of their nice shorts, and that tinge of humor will put you in a nice mindset.

weworemasks presents: panda’s year-end lists [year-end lists] (2011)

29 12 2011

Look, I’m aware of the fact that I spent most of the year on tumblr, drinking old fashioned’s, getting hair cuts and snorting fun dip with carnies & villains, but there was plenty of music & television in between said exploits. Don’t lose faith in me as I’m currently in internet rehab and will be around much more in 2012. Hit the cut for the Top 30 Releases, Top 5 TV Shows, Top 5 Live Shows and a Top 5 Beverages (seriously) list – all things I enjoyed in 2011.

video: milli mars – the alarm (2011)

29 12 2011

this video was sent to us by the artists by way of one of my friends, and i gotta say, milli mars has my attention. hailing from my neighboring city of san antonio, milli’s “the alarm” comes from 2011′s album, YMID, which can be yanked for free right here at bandcamp. the video was done by the same folks behind a$ap rocky’s “peso,” and i gotta say that this one edges it out a bit. look forward to seeing and hearing more from milli mars in 2012.

weworemasks presents: sunbear’s year-end lists [year-end lists] (2011)

28 12 2011

So it looks like we’ve run the ‘fun lists’ into the ground, now it’s time to get down to the real deal. While Sunbear’s done a great job all year of keeping everyone up to date on the more ‘alternative’ sides of things and keeping me company at shows (mainly the drinking), he’s currently out on sabbatical in the Phillipines. While he was over there, he managed to muster me up a quick little year-end list, short of filler, blurbs and all that bulky meaty shit and kept you tuned for the barebacked year-end lists over in his camp. Hit the jump for his Top 20 Albums, Top 15 Live Shows, Top 9 Movies and Top 15 TV Shows – all in no specific order.
