Holy Moses. I started playing on Amazon and found a bunch of Best of 2010 lists. It's very strange. Some lists are 30-strong and a dozen of them are discs that haven't even been released or listened to. I guess I got to thinking about what I would say I've liked since we left the '0s behind.
Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me
Liars' Sisterworld
Nneka's Concrete Jungle
Phantogram's Eyelid Movies
Vampire Weekend's Contra
Dr. Dog's Shame, Shame
Aloha's Home Acres
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' The Brutalist Bricks
Xiu Xiu's Dear God, I Hate Everything
Beach House's Teen Dream
Hot Chip's One Life Stand
Surfer Blood's Astro Coast
Pierced Arrows' Descending Shadows
Four Tet's There Is Love In You
Owen Pallett's Heartland
That's what I'd say so far. There are a bunch of records that I thoughtfully kept out. I can't believe how much hype is behind them when they seem so mediocre to me.
