This is the face (and the Texas beer) of a girl who just went house hunting for the first time and has two houses that she really likes and is...

Happy Bullet For My Valentine’s Day!
(and Mass Effect Demo Day)
This list is not meant to be a comprehensive review, it will only include things I have experienced in the last year and my decision will be completely dependent on MY experience . Finally entries need not be released/debuted in 2011. All that matters is that I enjoyed them this last year.
The first entry is my winner. The runners-up are roughly ordered but less thought was given after the number one slot.

Personal Experience
On July 3rd I married my wife, Katie. Best thing I’ve ever done.
for kquizzo
Close Encounters of the Third Kind by Jason Kunkel
If this music didnt automatically play in your head, then you’re probably not old enough.
YES!!!
Katie saw this lineup and we bought tickets immediately. My top 2 most listened to bands will be there. Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine and Black Tide in one place! This is going to be just about the best metal concert I’ve been to (neck and neck with Iron Maiden/Dream Theater).
Can you say bad ass wedding present?
Gears of War 3 Premiere Trailer
Gears gameplay has always itself well to cinematic trailers. This trailer continues the Epic Games tradition of overlaying dramatic gameplay and popular music rather than instrumental pieces or game specific scores. My particular musical taste means that I just ate this one up. I’m getting pretty excited for this game.

Bride Plays Drums to ‘Master of Puppets’ at her wedding
You know you made the right choice in marriage when your wife not only allows the wedding band to play “Master Of Puppets,” but actually plays drums on the song during the wedding reception. That’s exactly what happened at Dennis and Annette Ortiz-Dia’s wedding. The bride, who according to OC Weekly has played in multiple bands before on drums and bass, played the Metallica classic on the drums with her new husband on guitar.
The best thing about this clip other than Annette shredding on drums is that the couple are in an all-Asian Metallica tribute band called… wait for it… Trapped Under Rice!
Katie: you won’t

The major labels says that Limewire owes them 75 TRILLION in damages. Hot Hardware created a sweet chart to help us put that in perspective.

I’ve been glancing back over my shoulder ever since this morning when Apple’s seemingly sentient shuffle algorithm selected these songs for me.
Rockwell - Somebody’s Watching Me
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight.
People call me on the phone
I’m trying to avoid.
But can the people on TV see me
Or am I just paranoid.
Judas Priest - Electric Eye
Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you’ve private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time.
she looks so angsty

Valient Thorr - Tackle the Walrus
take him down dont let him go
that walrus moves so slow
strike fire ride heat
and sharpen your up your spear
the blacksmith warned us all
you’ve got nothing to fear
he’s out there in the shadows
he waits to quench his thirst
he’ll dine on your entrails
if you don’t kill him first
[guitar riff]
tackle the walrus beware of his tusks!
this one is deadly be careful you’ll trust
tackle the walrus beware of his tusks!
all that we’ve known here has now turned to dust
silly song is silly
