Ultimate Power! Maximum Life! - Tristan's Tunes of 2010

Well here we are again, the one time of year I actually use this blog of mine, Tunes of the year time! I think it's fair to say that 2010 has been a mixed ole bag for music, as this list will hopefully demonstrate there's been stuff I've liked from loud thrashy guitars right through to some pretty fast drum and bass, and as per usual everything in between. So without further a-do here are my tunes of 2010 (in no particular order either, other than the one they appear on the "Tristan's Tunes of 2010" CD):

1) Arcade Fire - We Used To Wait


or if you want to experience this video in a whole different way, check out the HTML5 video that was made for it. It's honestly a lot cooler and interactive than it sounds!

2) Free Energy - Young Hearts


3) The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio


4) Hold Steady - Hurricane J


5) Dinosaur Pile Up - Birds & Planes


6) Pulled Apart By Horses - I Punched A Lion In The Throat


7) Sleigh Bells - Riot Rhythm


8) LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls


9) Sky Larkin - Year Dot
Alas, there is no video (be live or promo) on you tube for this song, which is a shame. But instead here's Sufjan Stevens doing the song "Too Much" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon recently, and boy has Sufjan got some cool dance moves on him!


10) Band of horses - Georgia


11) Janelle Monae - Tightrope (featuring Big Boi)


12) Darwin Deez - Radar Detector


13) Yeasayer - O.N.E


14) Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish



15) Kanye West - Power


16) Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand


17) Danny Byrd - Hot Fuzz



18) DJ Fresh - Gold Dust


19) Chilly Gonzales - "Never Stop" (Rap Mix)


20) Divine comedy - At the indie disco


21) Eels - I like the way this going


Well there you go, that's the list. I know what you're thinking though, "Tristan, where can I download these songs in one handy, easy to manage package?" well my friend look no further than this link right here: http://www.mediafire.com/?q5veb7new86i6v2 it's about 125MB, so reasonably chunky, but it you'd like me to pop it on to a CD for you then give me a shout and I'll make sure I get it done!

Enjoy!
