In no order:
John Cale – Vintage Violence
New to me. First time hearing this record in 2010. Great!
Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest
One of those records that transcends time and place.
Dungen – Skit I Allt
Saw them at the Hi-Tone here in Memphis this year promoting this record. Incredible, intimate show.
Adam Woodard – Rock & Roll Recovery
One of the most raw/honest records I’ve heard lyrically. Written and recorded in a month but sounds like it was labored over for much longer. Adam doesn’t want you to know it exists.
Tame Impala – InnerSpeaker
Love the lazy vocals and rad guitars on this.
Tobacco – Maniac Meat
Great music to play ping-pong by.
Ty Segall – Melted
Raw. Good.
Gary Wilson – You Think You Really Know Me
Another one that’s new to me in 2010. Great documentary and wonderfully, weird record.
Congotronics – Konono No 1
They have a newer one out this year (Assume Crash Position) but I’ve been listening to this older release non-stop in 2010.
Robby Grant plays in Vending Machine and Mouserocket. The new Vending Machine record – Let the People Sing – is out now. Listen to it here. Follow him on Twitter.
