Top 5 2010 this far:

1. The Fall - Our Future Your Clutter
2. Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me
3. Jack Rose - Luck In The Valley
4. Yellow Swans - Going Places
5. William Basinski - Vivian & Ondine

Geoff Mullen & Keith Fullerton Whitman's "November 28 2009" CDR on Upstairs is pretty cool to these ears, as is Carlos Giffoni's "This is No Fun Acid 3" tour CD.

The new Scuba album is fantastic. It's dubstep/techno though, so I'm not sure it will appeal to much people on there. But it's fantastic, yeah. Electronic music has been amazing this year

The new Laura Veirs is really good.

Thanks syrfox, will get the new scuba. Electronic music is all I care about.

Though I do really enjoy the new Michael Yonkers, and the new blank Dogs ep.

THE new kAYO dot was meh..

Rangers - Suburban Tours

My favourite thing so far, just the languid sit-down-and-take-it-easy kind of album you need when its starting to get sunny.

Oh yeah this too

cool, thanks

Not the best things I've heard this year, but at least they can be said to consistent.

Acid Eater - "Black Fuzz On Wheels"
Deaf Wish - "Reality & Visions"
Yellow Swans - "Going Places"
Drunkdriver's self-titled LP
Beach House - "Teen Dream"
Ceremony - "Rocket Fire"... when

Akitsa-Au crepuscule de l'esperance
Malkuth-Sefirah Gevurah

...for anyone looking for some black metal. I've really not been up on much that has come out this year so far.

YOU BEAT ME TO IT!

Awesome record as by Akitsa as usual.

yeah its really good. better than the second and about on par with the first i'd say. the guy is such a versatile vocalist!

Things worth being excited about: new Emeralds on Editions Mego and possibly TWO Big Blood full-lengths.

Yeah, he's black metal's own Frank Sinatra.

that Editions Mego Emeralds record is kind of boring. one decent track. the rest is mega-meh.

ambarchi/o'rourke/haino - tima formosa
sick sick sick

whoa, need to get that, thanks

there are chances this will end up being my favourite album of the year: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/alb..._women/throat/

the new efdemin album is fucking stellar. i loved his first one, bergwein was excellent, but this one is even better. incredible.
