Hello, reader. How was your 2011? Uh, huh. That's nice. Quite an eventful year it was between Bin Laden, Qhaddafi, Kim Jong Il and the Atlanta Thrashers dying. On a lighter note though, if you wanna look back on the year that was, I present to you the top 20 alternative songs of 2011:

There you have it. If you don't agree, that's all well and good but I really don't care. Happy New Year to you and yours. Here's hoping 2012 is your best year yet. (Except for 2005, I hope 2012 is better than every year you've had except that. 2005 was awesome)
