TOP MUSIC OF 2011

[ShaSKha1991]

I LOVE Sun of a Gun, and Break the Chain. Not so keen on Oh Land's first albumatm.

Try Fredrika Stahl's "Sweep Me Away" album (pop, jazz). Also, I'm a tad obsessed with Patrick Wolf's "The Batchelor" album (pop, folk, rock, amazing).

Also Janelle Monae (Jazz, soul, dance, R&B) + Ben Howard (Folkie)

[DoogieXR]

What a great friend. Deer rule by the way..the're so burly! I love gorges. Marry me? You'll get half in the divorce. Feel free to say Hi. Lets wine and dine!

[iareediot]

do you think you can post the list in the under-box thing?

[JessieSamanthaEmily]

I really like 1 and 3 :) Thanks.

Also, is number 2 a guy?

[tilywinn]

Its about time... that Gotye got some respect (I wasn't gonna mention the lateness of this vid - just teasing ya). Although I have to say there's something brilliant about the song 'A Distinctive Sound' from Gotye's 'Like Drawing Blood' album. Its a track that, musically speaking, just keeps you on your toes. It has a great kick to it and is delightfully unpredictable.

[TheMainMane]

You should check out Born Gold's album Bodysongs. There's a free download of it up on their bandcamp (borngold.bandcamp.com) Yuo can also buy their vinyl there if you, or anyone else that checks it out, is interested!

[letnofootletnohand]

I've now been listening to that Gotye song for three days straight thanks to this video.

[dsmtl]

hey, great suggestions. the new little dragon is pretty good too

[Pillsline34]

Great.... thanks a lot for getting me addicted to Gotye... now I cant get that song out of my head! ........ :D

[thearthippie]

Listen to St. Vincent! My favorite is "Cruel". Or Architecture in Helsinki- "Contact High"

[thearthippie]

The Knife reminded me of Hedwig and the Angry inch, the whole look of the video (not the music, both of which I now love!)

[dragonfirefoxx]

Ah my friend in the box, great to see you on again my friend and I enjoyed the music collection here and you know I never heard any of them :/ I know I'm weird but now I know I will listen to them! Yes and I do hope we we see more of you but I and I am sure most of your viewers know that you do have a life and you do get busy with projects :) Thanks for taking the time to do this video though! :)

[Anomaly1618]

I love The Knife and Austra! :) I've been listening to Deep Cuts alot lately too, anxiously awaiting new material from The Knifes.

[nights2200]

I like watching this video, I only new one song so I enjoyed all the new songs you posted on this video :)

[WiredCityinMay]

love the music (: and this past summer i went to newfoundland and i did the same boat tour as you and went to the table lands which i think you showed, it so beautiful there (:

[jjzapman]

Gah! I love Kimbra! Oh and Baths is another good one. Happy to see you back...ish. Oh and also thanks for all the new tunes.

[thisaveragecow]

I can't wait to see more of you... ahem.

[LaughLikeNoTomorrow]

Gah, I can't stop listening to Somebody That I Used To Know! Love it. Thanks :]

...btw, I keep staring at Wally's mouth when I watch that music vid. It's just...I can't look away.

[ninshroom]

Make sure you listen either with some extra bass headphones, i.e. Sony MDR XB-700 or some Speakers with a Good Subwoofer.

[artandis]

Damn it I already had all of the top 5. the Gotye song was my favorite song for this summer for sure.

[Frozenbutthawing]

I had actually only heard 2 of them before!  I can't believe how green Gotye's eyes are...

[koakoa8]

YES! Fireflies! Love it! haha i guess i'll finish the rest of the video before posting a comment next time...

[LiveLaughLove0321]

youtube has missed you!

thanks for the great suggestions (:

[shyladog]

Also, Sail by Awolnation is an awesome song... :D

[shyladog]

For not showering for four weeks that is a lovely look. :)

[YourFriendInABox]

@shyladog well thank you... i doubt many would agree but thanks all the same haha

[clandestinecoherence]

oh land is an amazing artist thanks so much for the music recs! :)

[edgehaedjr]

Little bit of a different take on music I'd listen too, but I like the array. I loved Chris Garneau's song and video. The Knife's Pass This On is definitely never a bad choice.

Neon Indian's album «Era Extraña» is definitely amazing. It's probably my favourite album of 2011, or at least up there. I'm most definitely waiting for M83 and Cœur de pirate's upcoming albums. Still getting used to Light's new album. It's different, but not bad.

[osallivan231]

that last song just reminded me of "Anna Sun" by Walk the Moon.

They are pretty awesome!

[TheSim1derful]

Austra, Gotye and Kimbra, great choices!

It's so great seeing an update again.

[almostgoodfilms]

This is almost too much awesome-ness to handle... a TON of great music recommendations and a new video :D

[F0restMoon]

aw man i was gonna go to gros morne this summer but it didn't work out ;_; woooop the knife :) do ya like fever ray too? karin's solo stuff, it's amazing.

[letnofootletnohand]

You've probably hear of Beirut but listen to Port of Call off their newest album!

[brisser1]

My favorite song right now is Ben Howard, The Wolves: /watch?v=cRsLnR-ddqU

[tizzynerd]

[YourFriendInABox]

@tizzynerd I've missed you too, nizzynerd. I've missed you too.

[tizzynerd]

@YourFriendInABox <3

[MsLouCrow]

I have missed your face! can't wait to see more of you.

I love your taste in music.

[PrincessToad100]

I need to let you know, I was (and still am) a huge metal head/classic rock/glam rock fanatic. However, you have introduced me to some of my favourite bands in the entire world.

For broadening my musical horizons, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[YourFriendInABox]

@PrincessToad100 what an honour! Thanks for the message!

[ErikReinholdtHansen]

You are just like my highly irregular fuckbuddy!

Once every 3 months, without warning, you fill up my "mailbox" just to disappear until I forget you.. xD

[YourFriendInABox]

@ErikReinholdtHansen I'm sorry, I'll have to try and visit more often. :)

[ErikReinholdtHansen]

@YourFriendInABox By the way, do you still talk to Luka? Just wondering :P

[Buraion]

pass this on used to be my favorite song by the knife!

now it's we share our mother's health

[YourFriendInABox]

@Buraion also such a great song.

[tam155]

[VictorAndScience]

I never thought I would find someone else who likes baby garneau.

Try: Ximena Sariñana - Different

[peterthestrange]

Damn, i had five for five :l. I guess that means i'm synced up to your music taste :D

[YourFriendInABox]

@peterthestrange iTunes solidarity!

[cj0131]

I just fell in love with Chris Garneau's music thanks to you... Amazing music!!

[YourFriendInABox]

@cj0131 glad you enjoyed!

[alextinc]

What about "Erica Jennings - Its A Lovely Day", "Kavinsky - Nightcall (feat. Lovefoxxx)" or "The Young Professionals - DISCO" ?

I like that!

[TexasHighlander1]

Awesome Steven. Great songs and fantastic footage of Newfoundland. Now I see why it is one of my mother's favourite vacation spots.

[bulafritz]

Is that a pussy willow lamp?

[forrestlarsen]

i want to travel with you. fantastic songs as well.

[BarefootAnthropology]

I just subscribed to you yesterday, so I'm totally unaware of any remissness with posting on your part. Austra in particular sound amazing, so I'll definitely look them up. Want me to tell them you sent me?

I'm looking forward to the surprise! Surprises are fun. Unless it's like a gun in the head in the night. Killing me would make my boss very angry.

[mayed15]

WE'VE BEEN WAITING ALL SUMMER LONG!

[Polyphosphat]

Next week is better going to be epic after that introduction ;)

[sillyya]

You never fail to disappoint! Definitely a few songs I haven't previously heard of. Hopefully you'll get a chance to make more videos more frequently.

[YourFriendInABox]

@sillyya Thanks! Glad you got something out of it.
