Holiday Hangover

Leave a comment
The holidays are over and i’ve been forced back to reality.

This is probably my least favorite time of the year. KOST stopped playing Christmas tunes, the decorations are all packed up, the egg nog has gone bad, and the Christmas tree is on it’s way to the big lot in the sky. If that wasn’t bad enough, the job that pays the bills is requiring a lot of my time right now, so there won’t be any new posts after this, probably until about next week or so.
In the meantime, be sure to check out The Hype Machine’s Zeitgeist 2010 — A collection of the very best music of 2010 as picked by music bloggers. Featuring original artwork, full album streams, and DJ mixes created for The Hype Machine. (You can check out my top 10 from 2010 here).
You can also take a look back at all my favorite songs from 2010, (31) Days of Good, and i’ll still be fairly active over on twitter.
Lastly, enjoy this awesome version of Holiday, from Vampire Weekend’s recent iTunes Session (purchase it here), courtesy of Some Kind of Awesome.
Stay Tuned!

Just one day left of GOOD…and seeing as how it’s New Years Eve, here are my favorite tracks from 2010 that make the perfect additions to any Rockin’ New Years Eve Party playlist.

Vacation fun + Laziness = Extra short post today (but you can always find more GOOD over at 35mmBeats)

Frankie Rose (Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls) went out on her own this year and the results were fantastic. I fell in love with this track back when I first listened to the self-titled debut and it’s still in heavy rotation on my pizzle. More Frankie Rose & the Outs here.

Frankie Rose and the Outs – Little Brown Haired Girl by Ragged Words

So, this song by Savoir Adore was originally released in 2009, but the EP was released this year and it’s too good not to include here.

Savoir Adore – Bodies by musicmule

KCRW, LA’s only good radio station, introduced me this wonderful Mexican, singer/songwriter, Carla Morrison. I haven’t heard a song by her that I haven’t liked, but Una Salida (enjoy the acoustic version below) from Mientras Tu Dormias… is my favorite.
