Dayve Hawk a/k/a Weird Tapes a/k/a Memory Cassette a/k/a Memory Tapes sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: “Give Me Back My Man” by The B-52s, been obsessed with that track lately.

Streamable: Give Me Back My Man (youtube)

q: What is your favorite food?

a: Lentil soup from Norma’s Middle Eastern Restaurant in New Jersey.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: I don’t go to shows, but I always wished I had seen Godspeed. I watch the Black Sabbath Live in Paris 1970 clips pretty constantly.

Downloadable: Moya (mp3) by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

(Editor’s Note: what about Godspeed?)

Streamable: Iron Man (Live in Paris 1970) (youtube) by Black Sabbath

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: I really liked the Bell House.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: Myself, got to get a better home for my kid and some Health Insurance.

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: I’ve got a new full-length coming in a few months. It was recorded in the wood-shack behind my house so I had more room to do real instruments… the end result is a less electronic sounding LP than Seek Magic. People seem to think everything I do is all samples but that’s not how I work. I’m excited for it to finally come out.

Woah, 2010 was a pretty awesome year for music.

This here post is evidence of that fact. What follows is a compilation of all the tracks that have been stuck in my head all year long. Definitely check out the top 20 tracks, but also make sure you scroll through the whole list. Perhaps there is something down there that you missed (maybe)? Or to put it in terms that are “so 2010″, these songs are full of epic win.

This is my largest year end list yet (last year’s list is here), added up this list is over SEVEN HOURS of music. It was really difficult to edit down (it started with around 190 tracks). FYI: the Top 20 tracks should fit nicely onto a CD-R (if you still use that particular technology).

Did I miss something totally awesome? Then leave a comment and let me know. Have fun listening/downloading.
