The Best Party Songs of 2011 Posted: 29 Dec 2011 03:58 PM PST Yes! In time for NYE! This is my favorite year-end list to make because its obviously the most fun. And I give it the least amount of stress. Read on for all my favorite party/dance jams split into three increasingly heated sections. Almost all these tracks could fit into the last one but I had to split them up somehow! There is not much organization here, just grooves for miles. So polish those dancing shoes and get limber because I wanna see you bounce! Note that the list ends with a very appropriate title (and song) for New Years Eve. (Also note that the 3 songs before that make a great combo title.) So hit play on the whole 3-part playlist at 21:31:30 if you want perfect new years eve timing!

[VIDEO] Daniel and the Lion – “Holocene” (Bon Iver cover) Posted: 29 Dec 2011 12:39 PM PST Yesterday’s Best Covers of 2011 list sparked some suggestions from you guys and one of them was this stunning version of “Holocene” by a band I know nothing about but damn if this Daniel guy doesn’t have a voice like a lumberjack angel. And can we get a collective jaw drop for that xylophone work!? Plus props to Ross for diving in uninvited.
