“Looks like I finally found something you’re not good at Ton.”
Probably my favorite moment from the first generation. Also, where’s Anwar?

Favorite Albums of 2010: Honorable Mentions
As 2010 draws to a close, it’s time to round up a list of all the albums I loved over the year. I don’t know what my list says about me but I tried to be as honest in my selections and rankings as possible, trying to choose albums that I genuinely enjoyed and spent a lot of time with in 2010.
The list I’m posting right now is the “Honorable Mentions” list - albums that I liked a lot and listened to obsessively this year, but just weren’t the ones I liked or connected with the most. Anyway, that’s enough rambling, here’s the first part of my Favorite Albums of 2010 list, the Honorable Mentions.
5. Gemini - Wild Nothing
Given the Virginia Tech origins of Wild Nothing, I feel a certain sense of pride in being able to include them on my Favorite Albums of 2010 list. Wild Nothing is Jack Tatum, creator of hazy, 80s-tinged bedroom pop that’s more infectious than any pop you’re hearing on MTV. The debut album, Gemini, has some of the dreamiest tunes to come from the lo-fi indie pop scene this year. If you’re looking for somewhere to get into “chillwave” or “lo-fi”, I can imagine nowhere better to start than Wild Nothing’s “Summer Holiday,” one of my favorite tracks off their sun-washed debut, Gemini.

TRUE WOMANHOOD —- The Grey Man (2010)
I love getting an email from Noam of True Womanhood and it begins, “Here is your monthly True Womanhood fix.” Because I really am addicted to the songs these guys keep sending my way.
“The Grey Man” is True Womanhood’s new single. It’s dark, echo-ey and a little creepy, so it’s perfect for these bleak, winter days. Once again they’ve ran the vocals through their malfunctioning tape delay but this time they replaced the guitars with melotron strings and sampled a tack piano.
They’re also announcing a new music series called REEL TO REAL, which they’re going to be recording on a vintage reel to reel machine that they’ve restored, so keep an eye out for even more new True Womanhood tracks in the near future!
