Not done with a "2011 Favorite Albums" list but in the meantime, here's a short batch of songs that I really liked this year. I think you'll have fun if you click on these links to each song's "official video" and let your heart go to a place of tenderness and joy and melancholic miracles.
(Each of them looks great in "full screen" mode, too.)
1. Avalanche City - "Love Love Love"

2. Henning Ohlenbusch - "The Year My Voice Broke"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEYyfTEW12o
(The beautiful video is by Dennis Crommett -- of Winterpills)
3. Kate Miller-Heidke - "Are You Ready?"

PLUS -- here's some bonus stuff from Kate - whom some of you may have seen when she toured with Ben Folds last year:
A. "Facebook Song" -- with the F-bomb punchline
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeTPNjPiyJM&feature=related
--- the "interview" intro only lasts about 15 seconds and we get to meet her Ben-resembling (hus)band.
B . "Politics in Space" (outside some stores at the 2010 SXSW)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-qljhoH57o
Well worth enduring the 30-second ad that precedes the song -- and what a cute hat, right?? And, yes, Kate's also a real-life opera singer.
