Soundtrack to 2011

I can’t believe the year is already over! I read over my two past yearly soundtracks and I realize that I have amazing taste in music! Lol This year had highs and lows and they are clearly expressed in my musical choices for 2011. I started the year with a lot of worship music which got me through some tough times. As the year progressed It got better and that is reflected around May with the Kanye west song. The year definitely peaked in August when I started camping with my buddies more often and really solidified “Dirt Road Anthem” as one of my favorite songs of the year. I finished off the year with A great Radiohead song that wraps up the year perfectly.

A couple of observations for the year:
1. My musical tastes have expanded – where as last years music was a lot of country, especially Kenny Chesney, this year had a lot of different artists’ music.
2. Not enough worship music – I have not been listening to much worship music lately and that is not a good thing.
3. A different artist every month - with the exception of January and March (Brian Johnson sings with Bethel live, but technically they are different artists) This year had a different artist every month, showing a growing taste in music.
4. I made it a point to find a “Song of the month” for every month. I didn’t intentionally lok for a song, but naturally I get stuck on one song for days or weeks and I always made a mental note and stayed faithful to write it in the blog here. That of course comes with one exception, August, where I made a mental note but forgot to write the song in.
