2011 – records, records, records
Well, 2011. You were quite the year! So much so that I’ve only been able to recover enough to think about you a full week into 2012. Crazy, huh? New jobs, lots of change, oodles of shenanigans, and yes, lots of good music. So much so, that I undoubtedly missed vast quantities of things that I really should have got to. Ho hum.
So what things did Skye like? Blimey. I just looked at the Excel spreadsheet of this year’s releases (see how cool Skye is!), and there’s a lot of stuff on there. However it’s fair to say that I do actually have a favourite record of 2011, despite my general resistance to ranking things. I know, crazy times, huh, maybe the Mayans are right after all.

Video: Zoe van Goey don’t know Karate
This is all kinds of awesome. Borderline offensive? Hmm. Judge for yourself, but it’s witty and its cheesy and it’s all the kinds of things I love about ZvG. Okay, it could have done with a giant KimZilla or something but regardless, this tale of martial arts, derring-do and rank cowardice in Old Glasgow is a lot of fun. It helps that it’s married to one of the real standout tracks from Propellor versus Wings, too.
