Hot Tub Johnnies' favorites for 2011. It was another satisfying year in Music, let's take a moment to reminisce and or catch up...
Gzus Piece - Expensive Shit. Hands down my most listened to album of the year. Gzus Piece is from Chicago and runs with Million $ Mano, Mic Terror and Hollywood Holt. So many great songs,"95", "Bounce", and "Big Girl" are a few musts.

ASVA - Presence of Absence.From the incredible mind of G. Stuart Dahlquist, Bassist who has performed with Burning Witch, Goatsnake, and Sunn O))).

Big K.R.I.T. - Return of 4Eva. Big K.R.I.T. is a force to be reckoned with. A multi-talented rapper, writer, producer who's popularity continues to rise. Is he the next Kanye, Def Jam think so and with what he has coming he's certainly on point.
Listen and download: "Dreamin'"

Iggy Azalea - Ignorant Art. Busting out of Australia with great videos and solid swagger. The moment I first heard Pu$$y I was hooked and have been bumpin' the Ignorant Art album ever since.

Lindi Ortega - Little Read Boots. I had to choose a country artist and this Toronto native nailed it with her debut full length release. Lindi is beautiful, writes fantastic songs and plays a mean acoustic guitar with real rockabilly swagger. Imagine Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash having a baby together and give Lindi her first pair of little red boots.
Listen and download: "Angels"

Robotanists - Plans in Progress. LA kicks out some great bands and since 2008 I've been following this outfit, This years release is a complex album, Sarah Elquist's beautifully sultry vocals are perfect for a makeup sex session. A mere five days after the release of Plans, the group ambitiously reinterpreted, recorded and released their own version of RADIOHEAD's controversial The King of Limbs LP in its entirety, just 24 hours after its release.

Skull Tape - The Invisible Hand And The Descent Of Man. I loved The Mae Shi and Brad Breeck's newest incarnation hits all the same nerves. The group has made a pop album about Social Darwinism, it couldn't have come along at a more suitable time. Occupy this release!
Listen and download: "Crop Circles"
