10 Tennis :: South Carolina 7” :: “South Carolina”
It might be trite to label Tennis’ music as “cute”, but I would be hard-pressed to find a more fitting adjective. Their music is so ...

20 The-Dream :: Love King :: “Turnt Out”
One genre that I rarely find myself dabbling it is R&B. Earlier this year alot of people started talking about The-Dream and how good he is. On the strength of recommendations I decided to check out his latest album Love King and I am really glad that I did. His lyrics are about as clever as any good rapper and the music is...

30 MICKEY BROWN :: SOUL GLO :: “ZORDON”
Bringing together the talents of MICKEY MICKEY ROURKE and Lester Brown, this song a horse of a whole different color. It paints this world of frantic psychedelia where nothing is what it seems.

Cloud Nothings’ does not require alot of his audience. All you need is a willingness to enjoy some really fun music. With “Didn’t You”, he creates one of his most enjoyable lo-fi pop numbers. Very simple, yet extrememly rewarding.

Ugh. Now that I’ve finished my favorite 25 albums of 2010 I want to do something that I’ve not done before. Over the next few days I will share with you what 50 of my favorite songs released this year were: 10 a day for 5 days. Here are my guidelines though. Not only am I excluding tracks from artists on my favorite albums list, but I will also only include one song per artist....

10 Twin Sister :: Color Your Life :: “Phenomenons”
Twin Sister’s dream pop is as much about quirks as it is pop. Andrea Estella’s beautiful vocals elevate the music from this earthly plane to a place much more sublime.

15 Connan Mockasin :: Please Turn Me Into the Snat :: “It’s Choade My Dear”
One of the strangest albums you’ll hear this year. Squeaky falsettos squirm and slither their way through the grass of the dreamy psych weirdness.

20 The Fresh & Onlys :: Play It Strange
Incorporating country and Americana influence, the consistent Fresh & Onlys take you on a haunted stroll through a western ghost town. Breathe in and feel the dust in your lungs.

FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2010: 1/5
Back in July I listed out what my favorite albums were up to that point. My tastes and opinions have changed even since then, so the list is bound to look a little different (while not completely). I chose 25 albums, so I figured I’d do 5 a day for 5 days so as to not over-burden you. Also, I want to stress that this is not the BEST albums of 2010, but rather my FAVORITE albums of 2010. I am...
