<span id="goog_784571714"></span><span id="goog_784571715"></span>From power pop to punk to country to soul 2011 was a great year for music. So I spend this episode showcasing the best I found, but instead of limiting myself to a "Top 10" list, I limited the list to 25 tracks from the albums that I listened to the most in 2011.<br>

So why not do so while listening to new music from Urge Overkill, Bill Cosby & His White Puddin Pops, Robert Pollard, Pangea, Kid Congo, John Paul Keith, Fucked Up and Barrence Whitfield & The Savages. Plus a rare track from Paul Revere and a topical word of warning from Andy Shernoff of The Dictators, <br>

Well in 2004 when Sirius was launching the <a href="http://www.sirius.com/undergroundgarage">Underground Garage channel</a>, Van Zandt talked them into putting on a huge one day music festival to demonstrate what "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_rock">Garage Rock</a>" is.<br />
Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival was a great mixture of older acts (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pretty_Things">The Pretty Things</a>, <a href="http://www.nydolls.org/">New York Dolls</a>, <a href="http://www.bodiddley.com/">Bo Diddley</a>) with newer acts (<a href="http://www.thestems.com.au/">The Stems</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flaming_Sideburns">The Flaming Sideburns</a>, <a href="http://swinginneckbreakers.com/">Swingin' Neckbreakers</a>). However, there were also a few turds in the mix too (The Strokes - 'nuff said). The whole event was to be <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429478">filmed in 3-D</a> by Hollywood director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001060/">Chris Columbus</a> (Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire) for theatrical release. However, for some reason all did not go to plan & outside of a few film festival showings, all the footage has remained unreleased.<br />
Unfortunately the videos below are not from the professionals, but from a guy who brought in his cam-corder. These show some of the event troubles that (I'm guessing) are missing from the official footage. Such as stage announcers that are clearly out of touch with the acts they are introducing, sound issues & just how annoying (and out of place) go-go dancers are in 2004.<br />

Heck, who am I kiddin? I was in my early 30's last time I watch his show. It's the one thing I miss most about not living in the Chicago area. Sorry, Grandma, you're a distant #2!<br>
