Tristan of Guilty Ghosts 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: Last Night at the Jetty by Panda Bear. It’s amazing to me that an artist can be equal parts experimental and joyful in the same breath. The whole album reveals just as much excitement as this song does.
a: I have a weird answer. I have seen Underwater Peoples bands play more than anyone else based as much on personal interest as the fact they are always playing at gigs I attend. Real Estate, Julian Lynch, Andrew Cedermark and Ducktails solo specifically always sound great live, often sharing members. It feels very communal to go to any of their showcases. So yeah 4 answers.
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.
