I just came back across this on shuffle and had to post it:
This will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Happy Friday!

My Favorite Music of 2010, Part 1: Albums
I’ve been blogging on and off for a good 4+ years with music being one of my main topics, yet I’ve never really jumped on the wagon for the “best of the year” listing ritual. I’m not really sure why. Maybe I never found the lists all that compelling or maybe I just wasn’t all that into the process of it.
But for some reason that I can’t really pinpoint, this year I felt the need to look back at 2010 and put together a list of my favorite music. I guess there was a lot of great music that came out last year, or maybe it’s that I’m really starting to feel the urge to blog about music again. Whatever the reason, I’ve officially decided to jump into the list game, albeit in my own way (without any specific numbers or hierarchy).
I originally had one, giant post so I’ve decided to split it into 2 parts. Part 1 is for all my favorite full albums of 2010. Check it…
2010: My Year in Concerts
I see a lot of concerts each year, but I’ve never really taken the time to try to catalog them into one space. So I thought I’d attempt to list all of the shows I saw in 2010 — and to make it fun — include some reviews, photos, videos, etc.. from a bunch of them.

Summer Concert Video Dump: Broken Social Scene, Panda Bear, Toubab Krewe, Benevento-Russo Duo, Flaming Lips

Broken Social Scene in Central Park
“Superconnected” (don’t miss the guitar/sax solo duel)
MMJ’s Carl Broemel: “Questions” video – Great use of loop pedal at min 4:30
via vimeo.com
this is basically the same thing I do with my loop pedal at home, except that I have shittier equipment and am nowhere near as good a guitarist as Carl. 😉
eMusic now has concert listings
…..well, this just rocks.
testing out youtube’s playlist feature with Marco Benevento
Although YouTube has offered the ability to create playlists for quite some time, I’ve never actually bothered to create one…until now.
I needed to test out the playlist feature for a new marketing initiative at work, so I thought I’d drop a quick post with a few examples…
Photo Fun: A Spring Escape to Hawaii
I thought I’d post some photos from our fabulous vacation in Maui and Kauai…
New Camera + Brothers Past Concert = Photo Fun
Last week, I had a nice opportunity to test out my brand-new DSLR camera — a Nikon D5000 — in a more difficult setting: a Brothers Past concert at Brooklyn Bowl. Although I’m still getting the hang of the thing, I was able to grab a few decent shots.
If you want the full round-up of the show (with setlist and video), head on over to Live Music Blog. Otherwise, check out a few of my favorite shots below…
