favorite records of the year

this is by no means a best of. there was too much that i didn't listen to that i wish i had. with that in mind, these were my favorite records of 2010.

1. titus andronicus - the monitor

2. ceremony - rohnert park review here

3. big kids - hoop dreams review here

4. paul baribeau - unbearable review here

5. radars to the sky - supra/infra review here

6. nana grizol - ruth

7. cold war kids - behave yourself e.p.

8. the deadly syndrome - nolans volans

9. the splinters - kick review here

10. the henry clay people - somewhere on the golden coast review here

honorable mentions:

i thought the moses campbell album was great. i loved the tiny lungs e.p's. the joyce manor/summer vacation split was awesome. and joyce manor's constant headache was incredible.

fuck me:

i still need to buy no age's and abe vigoda's new albums. if i had listened to them i'm sure they would have made my top ten. i also didn't listen to the new wavves, best coast, arcade fire, le switch and nails albums - i'm sure i would have loved them all. i'll get to it.

here's a list of 2008.
