WHOA! That is insane, right? Looking back over the past year, we have been very very fortunate to get to do the things we do. We have been involved on some amazing projects and have gotten the opportunity to work with some of the best people around. 2011 was one that we will not soon forget.

But before we turn the page to 2012, we thought we’d get our Top 10 season underway…

We have our annual lists of Top 10 albums from all of our staff, as well as some of the bands on the Chop Shop Record label in the coming days/weeks, but first we thought we’d kick it off with an old Chop Shop Blog favorite: Who We Are!

If you are familiar with this Blog, you know that every so often everyone on staff at Chop Shop compiles a small list of things they are digging on at the moment in our Who We Are section. This is essentially your chance to stalk us. Plus, it’s a perfect way for our friends and family members (& Santa if you are reading this) to know what to get us for Christmas!

Enjoy!

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – “Same Mistake”

The new Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album is a masterpiece.  Period.  If you think you know this band, think again.  Majestic, melodic and musically adroit, it is the perfect soundtrack to the melancholy of autumn. Stream and download the song below:

Same Mistake by CYHSYband

We are just a a rag tag group in the depths of South Pasadena listening to a bunch of songs and putting some of them on TV and film projects we work on. It’s not a bad deal. Pretty fun actually.

But we don’t just listen to music…we are much deeper than that. Well, maybe that’s a little bit of a stretch, but just go with it. Every so often we like to let you all know what stuff we are into at the moment, and now is one of those times.

In honor of us passing the 7,000 follower mark on Twitter, we thought we’d give you a fresh Top 10 of things we like from each person on our Chop Shop staff.

Intrigued? I thought so.

Check it out HERE!

Enjoy and thanks for hanging around with us!
