AGDFA’s 2010 Year-End Comp Mix

Posted on | January 2, 2011 | No Comments

Happy New Year to y’all.

The year-end songs compilation I posted last year was such a big success
crafty bloke that I am, did it again.

These are all the songs that rocked me and or gently held me in it’s
warm musical blanket for the great year that was 2010.

This time, instead of editing myself to a nice, comfy 30 songs compilation,
I went crazy and jacked it up to 50.

Starting with the kickass Rock n’ Roll bangers melding into the Power Pop,
to Nugaze/Shoegaze to Electro/Dance to Hip Hop and then closing out all chill like.

My Year-End Lists Of 2010

Posted on | December 27, 2010 | 1 Comment

2010 will be remembered for me as the year 2 of my favorite bands
(Autolux and The Posies) released new albums.

I’m sure it’s a shock to absolutely no one that Transit Transit
would be #1 on my list.

It took awhile to grow on me even though I knew most of the songs
before the album came out but I now think it’s an absolute gem.
Shame it hasn’t shown up on more year-end lists.

For the rest, it was a heavy year in rock.

It ain’t dead people.

I would think my list bares that fact.

Lemme know what you think about it all. Agree or disagree, share your opinion.
That’s what the comment section is for.

Bring on 2011 I say.

My Fav Films Of 2010:

Going The Distance
Hot Tub Time Machine
Inception
Machete
Predators
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
The Social Network
Somewhere
Tron: Legacy

No big movie blew my mind this year.

Inception, while I watched it on the big IMAX screen sure but then the more I think about it, I have no desire to see it again.

I had hella fun watching Hot Tub Time Machine, Machete and
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World in theaters.

Those will be bought on DVD for sure.

Even though the reviews for Tron: Legacy have been less than flattering,
I have a feeling it will be my fav of ’10 regardless.
