//Best of 2011: Albums
Welcome to the last installment (I think) of //ApK’s best of 2011 series. We figured we’d collab on this one and give you both mine and DN’s top seven records of the year. Why seven? Not six or eight, but seven? Chalk it up to //ApK’s New Year’s resolution to break boundaries and continue to not abide by the social norms that have tripped the entertainment industry into a rut from which it may never escape. Something like that.
DN’s Top Seven Albums Of The Year Are:
(cue drumroll)
No. 7
Feist // Metals
‘Fame is the scentless sunflower with gaudy crown of gold/But friendship is the breathing rose with sweets in every fold’

‘Sunglasses and Advil/Last night was mad real’
No. 5

So, how can I say I love you/Now that you’ve said I love you?/ And how can I say I need you/Now that you’ve said I need you?/And how can I say I want you/ Now that you’ve said I want you/Now that you’ve said everything I said to you/ to somebody new
