Top 10 albums of the year

This year has been a great year for music, with new releases from trusty old timers like Arcade Fire and The National, to new LPs by great new bands like Wild Nothing and Warpaint. Also, we saw the re-insurgence of The Strokes, Pavement, STP and Soundgarden.

Here’s my list of my best albums of 2010, as well as my favourite song off the album. The tracks will be downloadable from our Soundcloud till the end of the year. Enjoy!

Love and peace,
Sarah

Update:
Hey guys, Soundcloud took down the Deerhunter track and so I gotta disable the download function. Sorry about that. But I’ll keep the rest of the songs up for stream for as long as I’m able to.
