2011, andy stott, Ash Borer, Baptists, Big Spiders Back, Carl Calm, Ford and Lopatin, Haxan Cloak, Ken Mode, Kryptic Minds, Liturgy, Motion Sickness of Time Travel, Patrice and Friends, Patten, Regis, Roly Porter, surgeon, Tim Hecker, Tombs, Trap Them, Tropic of Cancer, wold, xhin, year end lists
Lastly, I’ve got some great new talent lined up for the Only For Robots guest mix series for 2011. All new faces, and I’m sure we’ll see some familiar ones throughout the year. My new years resolution with this blog is to dedicate more time to updating it with what I’m listening to, what others are listening to, Chicago updates, and whatever else I feel is mindless jargon that I should spew out at you.
Have a happy new year, and see ya in 2010.

I don’t want this to get too lengthy. I’ve included youtube clips instead of reviews, to give you a better idea of the acts. So, without further ado, I give you my top 20 (in NO order!)…
