2011 In Review

So 2011 is done and dusted and didn't it go quick. I wonder at what year I will stop feeling like an 18 year old. Music wise, the profits at big record labels continued to dive but the only people who cared were the big record labels themselves. If the health of the music industry can be measured by how many bogans decided to go shirtless to Stereosonic then MUSIC IS FUCKING KILLING IT!
