Happy Fiscal New Year! My Favorite Tracks of the 2011 Fiscal Year

So one of the ways that I've come to realize that I'm a total work drone is the fact that the fiscal new year has become more significant to me than the calendar new year.  July 1st marks the new fiscal year (at the company that i work for).

these are my favorite tracks that got me through the fiscal year (released July 2010-July 2011).  they aren't in any  particular order, because ranking the tracks you love is fucking stupid as hell.

(some of them will be linked to videos or soundclouds or some shit, others i've covered in previous entries. the rest find yourself, you lazy fuck. you can google anything).

1. Salem – King Night (alright, possibly the coolest song i've ever seen/heard live.  as soon as the drum machine kicks in, you're flooded with light and smoke)
