i am a song person versus an album person. that means i have ADD or am just peculiarly particular. nevertheless, i could never in good conscious make a best of 2010 album list, because i believe in the skip/fast forward button way too much and NEVER listen all the way through (this coming from a child of the vinyl days). so thank goodness, i write for a blog administrator who lets me do mixes…they may appear non-sequitur or chaotic, but they are true to my latest adorations and/or old flames.

sooooo, it is time to recall 2010 and make a mix of some of my favs…and oh what a year! up, down, turn around, please don’t let me hit the ground and here i go…

i have included some popular indie/critic hits (cause even a music snob like me could not deny them!), along with a few of my own more personal obscure favorite finds here. and i even let blair add a few of his favs, even though i prefer old school cocteau twins much much much more. :)

happy listening and happy new year!

i am also a music video super fan…my vote for the most brilliantly creative vid of 2010 goes to autre ne veut’s “soldier.” this here be some fine fine editing to match an equally winning song:
