The Albums of 2010 - A look back at a great year for music, pt 2

Palamino, Trampled By Turtles
Admittedly, I only first heard of these guys when they played live in our store back in April.  Happily, they tore the roof off.  Highly recommended for fans of heavy pickin' country-bluegrass.







Sigh No More, Mumford and Sons
See, folk music doesn't have to suck.  Infinitely re-listenable.

(warning: contains heartfelt honesty manifest as a naughty word)






If I Had A Hi-Fi, Nada Surf
Lets face it, you're probably not cool enough to know who Nada Surf is.  These now-ancient Indie darlings return with a great collection of covers of some of their favorites songs from a lot of artists so cool that I don't even know who they are.







I Learned the Hard WaySharon Jones & the Dap Kings
The queen of the Soul revival returns with another power-house disc crammed full of grooves to shake and sway to.

"Part One"



"Part Two"






The Electronic Anthology ProjectThe Electronic Anthology Project
Built to Spill's Doug Martsch and Brett Nelson collaborate on this small collection of Built to Spill songs re-imagined as 80's New Wave cuts.




To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EP's, Atmosphere
Billed as a "double EP",  at 12 tracks long most people might simple call it an album but such lovable scamps as Ant and Slug are free to call it whatever they like.




Something for Everyone, DEVO
Contrary to popular belief, they are not through being cool.




Fool, Warpaint
Dreamy, hauntingly beautiful art-rock by dreamy, hauntingly beautiful art rockers.
