Best live show of 2010: tie between Thee Oh Sees at The Bug Jar in Rochester, NY (so sweaty), and William Basinski at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, NY (so gorgeous).

Best band I discovered in 2010: Zelienople, hands down.

Best albums not from 2010 that I discovered/came around to in 2010:
DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues
Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)
Loscil - Submers
Sam Amidon - All Is Well - the sound of working long hours in a cagey stock room, avoiding mice and moving boxes of cereal.
burger/ink - Las Vegas - the sound of sitting on my bed drinking hot chocolate and watching the huge Rochester snowflakes fly around.
Zelienople - His/Hers
Gastr Del Sol - Upgrade & Afterlife
Lambchop - OH (Ohio)
The For Carnation - The For Carnation - the sound of me trying to keep myself awake late at night while I sat watch over a small wooden cabin full of pre-adolescents
The Gray Field Recordings - Hypnagogia - the sound of evenings walking around the woods by myself when…

i decided to start documenting what i'm listening to, how i've been feeling, new discoveries etc. in a month by month music playlist. not all of the lists will have the same amount of tracks and they will be in alphabetical order. goal in mind is to do this for at least the next 11 months, but maybe this will be ongoing.

anyway, without further adieu:

American Football - Never Meant
American Football - The Summer Ends
Big Star - Thirteen
Bright Eyes - Take It Easy (Love Nothing)
Dear and the Headlights - Grace
The Detachment Kit - Skyscrapers
Into It. Over It. - Summerville, SC
Jeremy Enigk - Lewis Hollow
Joie De Vivre - Sundays
Mineral - Slower
My Heart To Joy - Seasons In Verse
Owen - A Bird in Hand
The Promise Ring - Size of Your Life
The Smashing Pumpkins - Once Upon a Time
Sparklehorse - It's A Wonderful Life
Weezer - Why Bother

Un poco tarde debido a mis constantes viajes (paros), he aquí mi lista de lo que mis oídos agradecieron a lo largo del año pasado. No tienen porque estar de acuerdo, son sólo mis opiniones. Por estricto orden alfabético:

65daysofstatic - Escape from New York
http://img.xiami.com/images/album/img61/28161/3256021239783417.jpg
Te deja un buen rato esperando el clímax, pero llega. Muchos dicen que es un disco sólo para fans por su contexto y corte, pero definitivamente es digno de escuchar.

A Day To Remember - Homesick
http://notpopular.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/a-day-to-remember-homesick.jpg
Tan simple como decir que fue mi soundtrack del año, tantos recuerdos escuchándolo. Desde The Downfall Of Us All hasta If It Means A Lot To You me es imposible darle stop. Con una producción más elaborada que el material previo (para bien o para mal) y letras simples como acostumbran, estoy segura que en 10 años lo voy a estar escuchando y voy a recordar esta etapa de mi vida. …

Sorry to trick everyone but it still seems to me that no one reads these journals anymore. I won't leave you hanging on the porn though. http://eskimotube.com/ is a good place for free porn. But on to more important things, my 2009 list.

--Top Ten--

Alice In Chains-Black Gives Way To Blue
I was hesitant about this one. The idea of a Chains album without Layne didn't sit to well with me but this album is awesome. William DuVall is no Layne but he's a worthy replacement. He and Jerry Cantrell harmonize and work so well together. AIC is back!

Baroness-Blue Record
The Red Album came really close on making my 2007 top ten list but I felt it was a little raw & unpolished. Not the Blue Record though. From start to finish this album has such and incredible flow to it. …
