Ten Best Musical Moments of 2011


(Of course you should have known that The D Man shreds)

The D Man is not looking forward to the songs that we will be playing when the world ends in 2012. So it seems wise to remember the good times from the past year.
  • 10. Braving the Mojave with Marty Robbins in tow.
  • 9. Screening Mark Kozelek: On Tour in Rip's basement.
  • 8. Tilting windmills with Rizzo and some seemingly long-lost musical friends.
  • 7. Listening to Kaputt on every atmospheric or late-night drive possible.
  • 6. Air-guitaring with Dave Grohl on this closing number.
  • 5. Enjoying Robin Pecknold's soaring voice on "Oliver James" at Red Butte Gardens.
  • 4. Watching the spectacle of U2.
  • 3. Pounding to the epic soul-march of "Wake Up" with Mrs. D Man.
  • 2. Pulsing to "Race for the Prize" with Stark, Rip, and Rizzo. It's saturday night with the (expletive) Flaming Lips!
  • 1. Attending The Kings of Convenience show with Rip at the Musix Box in Hollywood. Then hanging out with Erlend and Eirek after the show.

    Thanks, Schwarzy! Next year, you will make the list after you kill it at a yet-to-be-determined show.
