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).

mp3 :: Double Dagger > Pillow Talk

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

And now, another Thrill Jockey release…

The purveyors of fine postpunk bass, drums, and vocals called Double Dagger have a new EP, Masks. The CD and 12″ both feature crazy limited edition packaging designed by the Post Typography design studio, and come with custom die-cut mask drawing covers. The eyes on said covers change color depending on the orientation of the viewer. It looks something like this.

Masks by Double Dagger

And it sounds like this. Listen.

You can purchase the 12″ or CD and get a randomly selected cover or you can order the whole shebang in by selecting one of the many bundle options @ Thrill Jockey.
