A Christmas gift to you from WhatYouWant Radio - radioshow number 40 and a best of 2011 to boot! Putting aside the absence of the new website (damn you iTunes and Soundcloud, for not yet talking to each other!) it's time to say: another year, another best of. Well, there's tons of lists about of the things that you should have been listening to this year but really, there's only one WhatYouWant Radio rundown. Tons of great tunes for you, not so much to write really - best let the music speak for itself. James Blake, Holy Other, Bon Iver, Jonathan Wilson and Laura Marling all bring enough downtempo to get you chilled before Washed Out, Toro Y Moi and the marvellous Gay Marvine bring us back up (by way of Beirut and Destroyer). Once we are up we are up, and the 6th Borough Project, James Johnson, Erdbeerschnitznel all take us to the plateau of beats - Matthew Kyle, the Roots and the year's most intersting producer, Clams Casino. Don't stop there though: 2011's best pop still to come: Little Dragon, Games, Metronomy, TV on the Radio, Cut Copy and the Smith Westerns are all in for your listening pleasure. Then to finish there's a comedy cover from the Hackney Colliery Band, a computer game tune from the National and a swooning album closer from The Phoenix Foundation. All that's missing is a track from the man behind WYW Radio's album of the year - Raphael Saadiq. If you can't enjoy this, tsk, this world is not for you. Happy Christmas, pleasureable listening!
