This isn't an indictment of your taste-- rather, it just reflects how I felt about most new music this year. There was basically not a single album that knocked me off my socks and screamed out "essential" to me. Maybe it was because I spent a lot of time delving into older stuff, or maybe I just got oversaturated, or maybe it just wasn't as good a year for new music as 2009 was...<br /><br />Anyway, great list. And BTW I definitely agree that Big Boi surpasses Kanye West for best hip hop record this year.drischordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415230941462114703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31335050.post-31848761661030500202010-12-25T15:42:53.840-08:002010-12-25T15:42:53.840-08:00I'm so glad you like the Lotus song!

You might not remember, but I actually played you that track when we listened to the Roots at my apartment awhile back.<br />For further listening, check out this live set from the BBC where he plays with a live band. http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/15213-golden-axe-live-on-bbc-radio-1/<br />I'm also excited for the album he's producing for Thundercat, the bassist heard on the live set and this song from the album:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCyv05SG1gtexplushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595399668036268554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31335050.post-47280102511632475392010-12-25T15:20:34.575-08:002010-12-25T15:20:34.575-08:00I don't think I'd heard of Flying Lotus be...I don't think I'd heard of Flying Lotus before a week ago, but that song sounds really fucking great, and it got me to track down some other great songs on You Tube. That's an album I probably need to own.<br /><br />I'm also really taken with that Field Music song, which I know you posted awhile back as well. The juxtaposition of those extremely mature and depressing (and somehow thoroughly British) lyrics with the peppy beat and almost sing-songy melody just kill me.<br /><br />I'm surprised that you don't give Kanye a more prominent position, although I suppose somebody has to relegate his album to something less than a #1 spot.Quinapalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756065227028423860noreply@blogger.com
