Melenie Yap Top Ten Babymakers of 2011

Published on December 28th, 2011

Cultural Engineer Melenie Yap was kind enough to give us an absolute “what’s what” of a Top 10 tracks to get down to….

Where I come from we call these babymakers (I’ve included a couple extras at the bottom). Here’s some lovin to keep you warm on those cold winter nights (totally channeling Isaac Hayes).  For those of us who like making babies, and those of us who just love to practice…this list is for you. (Awwww yeah)

And from the Sean Majors Honorable Mention Babymakers 2011 Vault……
Mr. Blake has been on a pretty amazing run over the last few years. He manages to be groovey and deeply emotional without making me want to slap him so hard the Elliot Smith falls out.
