Plus blog featured singles by; Groove Armada, Belle and Sebastian & Golden Silvers. Thanks so much!<br /><br />Yeah, I almost didn't make it beyond Greg's fab selection by Logo, but I stayed strong and pushed forth, only to be confronted almost immediately with the wondrous joyous performance that is...as I must call it..."Get Outta My Car" by David and his Hoff-ettes. Many thanks to Simon, this one I think takes the TOP "Magic Alex-Musical Gem" prize for Unabashed Guilty Pleasure! ;-D But seriously, was really nice to see David in top form here...good for him!<br /><br />Looking at my iTunes "Date Added" column for 2010 my most enjoyed Albums were:<br /><br />2raumwohnung - Kommt Zusammen Remix Album<br />Red Snapper - Pale Blue Dot<br />They Fade in Silence - Apologies are Hard to Find<br />21 - Soundtrack<br />Kraftwerk - Coachella 2004<br />Yello - By Yello [The Anthology Set]<br /><br />And here's a link to one track I adore and find so sublime...Red Snapper's "Brickred" from their Pale Blue Dot album:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X84oNQBOa4" rel="nofollow">Red Snapper - Brickred</a><br /><br />Thanks guys for sharing your most enjoyed selections from 2010. As always my very best to you and your families for a Merry Christmas and safe, healthy and PROSPEROUS New Year! <br /><br />(hmmmm...I can't seem to get that Philip Glass out of my head...the random yet hypnotic reciting of numbers in the tracks...may need to circle back and pick that up from iTunes, tooooo...)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690324673271663324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376963141335042670.post-88505507745430898522010-11-17T01:57:15.452+00:002010-11-17T01:57:15.452+00:00I checked my last.fm profile and discovered that t...I checked my last.fm profile and discovered that this year, while Beach House - "Used to Be" and LCD Soundsystem - "I Can Change" broke my heart every time I listened, Bill Wither's "Lovely Day" made me very, very happy. <br /><br />I also discovered that Magic Alex's "Older" was in my top 20 for the year.(Thanks for releasing it!) So was Sleigh Bells - "A/B Machines". <br /><br />Thanks as always, for the recommendations!

My favour...Thanks for sharing, guys - great stuff! <br /><br>My favourite out of all your examples must be Philip Glass. I went to a tribute to him back in '99 and was amazed to realize the sheer number of tracks I had enjoyed over the years that he had composed. Another highlight for me is Rose Elinor Dougall - hadn't heard of her before, and I'll be sure to check out more of her music.<br /><br>Some tunes I've listened to and loved recently, in no particular order:<br /><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVEGepG_NMg" rel="nofollow">Kaizers Orchestra - "Kontroll på Kontinentet, Live at Vega"</a><br />The best live band ever.<br><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJfnvna4kwI" rel="nofollow">Jarle Bernhoft - "On Time"</a><br />The best live solo artist ever.<br /><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYl3S2u_9wk" rel="nofollow">Angelo Badalamenti - "Rose's Theme" (The Straight Story)</a><br />There are no words. Beauty incarnate.<br /><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAjq3Qojii4" rel="nofollow">Gåte - "Du Som Er Ung"</a><br />Folk meets rock. Awesomeness ensues.<br /><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyMwXa9LdIk" rel="nofollow">Velvet Belly - "Drowning Sun"</a><br />Beautifully performed ballad. (With noisy guitars - yay!)<br /><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RbSXxwiYMY" rel="nofollow">Marit Larsen - "If a Song Could Get Me You"</a><br />Chemically free of sarcasm - just lovely and unpretentious.<br /><br>Magic Alex - "Super KK"<br />No explanation needed.<br /><br>Elimarithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642571023325374548noreply@blogger.com
