Best Albums of 2010 #4


Girl Talk - All Day

The mashup master is back at it again with a follow up to his 2008 breakthrough "Feed the Animals". 372 different song samples are used to make the 12 track album which is also available as one continuous track; how it is intended to be listened to. The track spacing is just for easy navigation of the album. The album was released in November for free on www.illegal-art.net and within hours crashed the site as rabid fans tried to get their hands on the release. This is a must own party album as it is something everyone from hipsters to wiggers alike will enjoy as tracks blend from pop to 80's rock to Spacehog.



(Check out 1:40 for my personal favorite part of the album... and continue listening if you like to Party in the USA)

Best Albums of 2010 #5


Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History

Ten tracks of delightful electro-fueled indie pop from the trio from Nothern Ireland kick off this albums of 2010 list. Clocking in at 32 minutes this album is certainly short but not lacking in the sweet. Up-tempo tracks keep your head bobbing and your shoes tapping. Check out their lead single "Something Good Can Work" below.
