P4K's Top 50
Pitchfork.com, whom I would call a very reputable source for music, have released a top 50 albums of 2010 list done by their staff. Although I feel some artists fell short, I haven’t heard every one of these albums so until then I’ll leave it at that.
50. Wavves- King of the Beach 49. Wild Nothing - Gemini 48. Forest Swords - Dagger Paths 47. Women - Public Strain 46. Matthew Dear -...

Ryan Bright's The Top 20 Songs of 2010
I couldn’t rank these songs in order, they’re just 20 songs that I loved this year, that’s all. These artists might not have had the best albums, or any albums with the songs they put out for that matter, but I couldn’t get their songs out of my head this year. Yes, Antoine Dodson’s on the list, as well as Sufjan Steven’s 25 minutes of Impossible Soul.

the whole thing with the lo-fi: a playlist
Made a playlist for my friend to introduce him to the modern world of low fidelity or “lo-fi” music. Lo-fi’s not really a genre so much as a way to describe the quality of recording. Sometimes lo-fi is unintentional as a necessity to the bands who have no recording budget, but these days, people are intentionally aiming for a lo-fi sound. This is a very brief introduction aimed...

LTCK READER'S POLL 2010
You sent in your lists for the top albums of 2010, now here’s what the general consensus of what the top albums were based on everyone’s lists.
The procedure was like simple: the albums got ranked based on the number of times they were nominated across all the lists. Albums with less than 5 votes were not counted. To deal with tiebreakers, I looked at which position the albums...

Top 6 Concerts I Should've Gone To in 2010
Seeing as I only went to 3 or 4 shows this year, there’s a lot I missed that I wished I hadn’t, listed below in order of regret level
Interpol @ the Norva - I’ve loved Antics since I was in middle school, so when I learned they played practically the entire album at the Norva, this show quickly jumped to the top of my list. Any time someone even mentions Interpol or a song from...

Snow Mix
Today I took a final in Biology and now I’m sitting watching the snow fall outside and listening to a snow mix that I made in late January of this year.
I also started working on the Let This Colony Know followers’ top album list. I listed out over 30 albums that appeared more than once on your lists and ours, and I’ll have a rough count of which albums appeared most...

Rdio.com
I’m halfway through my free trial at Rdio.com and I felt the need to share how useful it is. Rdio is a streaming music service (from the people who made Skype) that you can use online and also on smartphones for a week for free. I’m using it to preview full albums while I’m at home, and listen to music that I don’t have the space for on my iPhone when I’m not at...
