Top concerts of 2011
1. Dark Dark Dark at Maison de Radio France (20/06/11)
Black Session #330 sadly started with the announcement that this would likely be the last France Inter Black Session! It turned out to be the case but hopefully Le Mouv’ version to be started in 2012 could be a decent substitute (at least Other Lives gig organized by Le Mouv' was really nice)
2. Metronomy + Pete Doherty at We love Green (11/09/11)
I was definitely not expecting that Pete Doherty concert could be so great (it was actually a good of compensation to a so so Metronomy performance)
3. Loney, dear + Dillon + Oscar & The Wolf at La Flèche d’Or (19/11/11).
I was there almost by accident to see Loney Dear and was so much enjoying Dillon!
4. Bonobo + Floating Points + Joy Orbisson at la Machine du Moulin Rouge (25/11/11)
Conclusion: Trust Londonian friends’ recommendations!
5. Warpaint in Black Session #324 at Maison de Radio France (24/02/11)
6. The Elected in Schubas or such an amazing concert venue of Chicago! (02/07/2011)
7. Timber Timbre in Black Session #327 at Maison de Radio France (04/05/11)
8. Interpol at Zenith de Paris (15/03/11)
Yes I have seen Interpol live in 2011 which was a wish I had since some while.
At last three extra events were it was more about the overall atmosphere & people:
1- Arnaud Rebotini at the Musée des Arts & Métiers (6/10/11)
Or the day I discovered Arnaud Rebotini !
ARNAUD REBOTINI - 2TONE
2- Concert de soutien à la CNT Educ 93 (16/12/11)
Or the day I saw for real Loran from the Berurier Noir !
3- Warm at Plastic People with Âme & Superfriends of London! (28/10/11)

It was rather hard to pick out only 5 albums so find hereafter some others that will also remain in my mind as good music albums of 2011.
