Top 10. Top 10 LPs & EPs of 2010. There was plenty of good music this year, much more out there than the 10 posted here, but these are my top 10 favorite LPs & EPs of 2010. We saw the ebb and flow of Chillwave [link]. Nostalgia hit it's peak then stayed up there and I don't see it dying in 2011 [link].
This was my first year I really followed music, seeking out that new 'relevant' tune of the week. I went to so many concerts and festivals this year (like <30). Saw some truly moving shows[The xx] and some annoying ones [MGMT]. This year I really fell in love with new music and I could name the new/hip trend in music for any month. Without further ado, here are the LPs & EPs that I felt a real/emotional connection with and can't ever see myself from stop listening to or enjoying!
The only thing better than listening to tasty LCD Soundsystem jams is dancing along to the live versions. Enter the newest release from James Murphy and company, digital live album The London Sessions.
Since their world tour has all but wrapped up, and the future of the band is uncertain as far as any future albums or tours, this live album comes at the perfect time to taste the magic.
The sound has been meticulously engineered and mixed by James Murphy, who undoubtedly would never settle for anything less than quality that captures the band at their explosive best. To get a taste of what their legendary performances sound like (or to relive an unforgettable night if you've already seen them), this is a must-buy for any fan.
The setlist covers tracks from all three LCD albums, including the essential live cut of "All My Friends" [!!!], classics such as "Daft Punk is Playing at My House", and a couple tracks off of Album of the Year front-runner This Is Happening. Fans will also enjoy the inclusion of b-side and live staple "Yr City's a Sucker."
Full Tracklist and a clip of "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" after the jump.
YO! HNW just went under the knife. Hope you like it as much as I do right now. In honor of this, here are some tunes you should listen to when you want to celebrate things. Hit up the comments section for all the songs actually appropriate for this situation that I missed.
