Top Tunes of 2010
OK since 2010 pretty much sucked on all fronts, I was left bereft of a serious collection of musical discoveries for the year. So I polled the Facebook, plumbed the depths of Pitchfork and went on a walkabout through iTunes. I had a $25 iTunes gift card to spend, so in lieu of an actual “Best Of” list, here is what I ended up purchasing based on my research. In no particular order:
The Nervous Wreckords – Everything Stops for Tea
James Blake – I Only Know (What I Know Now)
Kanye West – Power
Sade – Soldier of Love
Trombone Shorty – Backatown

Florence + The Machine – Girl With One Eye

Fitz & The Tantrums – MoneyGrabber
The Avett Brothers – I and Love and You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqZZlL0l5Uk
Mumford & Sons – Little Lion Man

Griffin House – The Guy that Says Goodbye to You is Out of His Mind
The Morning Benders – Pleasure Sighs
Beach House – 10 Mile Stereo

Tired Pony – Get On the Road

Local Natives – Wide Eyes

Gayngs – The Beatdown
Lyrics Born – Oh, Baby!

Tennis – Things to Do When You Are Sad (no link, sorry)
I actually ran out of ideas at that point and used the remaining $3 to buy part of Keith Horn’s “Rock Scissors” album. Check out Keith if you like your music weird.
Were I to compile a list of favorite songs prior to this little adventure, it would go something like this:
The Weepies – Please Speak Well Of Me
Sun Kil Moon – Half Moon Bay
James Murphy – Please Don’t Follow Me
Esperanza Spalding – Really Very Small

Daft Punk – Derezzed

Crowded House – Twice If You’re Lucky
The Bird & The Bee – I Can’t Go For That
The Books – I Didn’t Know That
Jaga Jazzist – One-Armed Bandit

Eric Johnson – Fatdaddy
