My Year in Music 2011: The Bands

This doesn't even begin to cover a fraction of the amazing live shows I've seen this year, but these are some of my favorite photos from My Year in Music: the bands.

On this last day of 2011, I'd like to thank all of you who read my blog for actually reading it. I wish you health, happiness, love, art, and music in 2012.

My Year in Music 2011: The Fans

I go to concerts. Lots of them. You wouldn't know though because I've failed miserably at keeping an up-to-date blog this year. My last post about music was back in June. Good thing 2012 is right around the corner and one of my new year's resolutions is to blog more, especially about music.

Since it would be pretty pointless to give you all reviews of shows I saw five months ago (I'm so topical), I've decided to post some of my favorite photos from my year in music. Today it's all about the fans; tomorrow it's all about the bands.

Musically, 2011, you've been too kind. THANK YOU.
