Best Of 2010…

Album Cover Art for Hip Hatchet - Men Who Share My Name

With Christmas coming up, that means New Years is right around the corner. Of course, this means every website, blog, Tumblr, Twitter feed, and online magazine will soon publish an onslaught of “Best ______ of 2010.” I usually love these things, especially the music ones since they provide an opportunity to discover some great albums that I missed when they first came out. This year, however, I did a pretty good job of keeping on top of new releases, so I think I’ll be staying away from the usual suspects (NPR Music, Pitchfork).

That said, I’d like to share one list that I found noteworthy, mainly because an album I worked on is near the top!  We Listen For You posted their Top 25 Albums of 2010, and Hip Hatchet’s Men Who Share My Name is chilling at #5.  Exciting!  Phil is in good company with Sharon Van Etten and Tallest Man on Earth on either side of him, and Morning Benders, Avi Buffalo, and Henry Clay People elsewhere on the list.

Who am I kidding?  I love this stuff.  With Pitchfork just starting on their Honorable Mentions for best albums of the year, and NPR putting up some rad lists already, I’m going to be plenty busy checking out new jams while I’m home for the holidays.
