Top.50.Songs.of.2010.(Part.3)

.18. "Best In the Class"_____Late of the Pier

-They are back with a amazing single. A MUST download.

.17. "Night"_____Zola Jesus

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-This song starts off so creepy with yells and BANG! You gets this beautiful song.

.16. "Birds of Prey"_____Christina Aguilera

-Nice. This album (Bionic) maybe a flop, but I think this is her best work yet. The collaboration with Ladytron on this track is FCVKn good.

.15. "Garden"_____Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-I found this band by accident on a mix I heard and I looked them up and downloaded some songs that are really good, but this was the standout track.

.14. "We Are The Dead"_____Does It Offend You, Yeah?

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-Never heard this track until they played it live and I was hooked. When I got home, I looked it up and sure enough I found. Can not wait for the new album next year.

.13. "Unholy Thoughts"_____Kele

-"The Boxer" is an okay album and this was the song that stood out the most for me. Please don't break up (Bloc Party).

.12. "Rhinestone Eyes"_____Gorillaz

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-The only track I liked from the whole album (Plastic Beach).

.11. "Total Life Forever"_____Foals

-AMAZING band and AMAZING album (Total Life Forever). Get the album, you wont be disappointed.

.10. "Running Out"_____Scissor Sisters

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-They are back with a all night party album (Night Work) that is pure fun. Love the album artwork. Reminded me of Saturday Night Fever 2.

.09. "The Safest Place"_____Sade

-It's Sade, what do you expect. Doing what she does best. "Soldier of Love" is a MUST album.

.08. "Echoes"_____Klaxons

-They are back and it was worth the wait. It took how long, 3 years to make? "Surfing the Void" takes them out of that NU.RAVE sound and brings some Hard Rock to there sound. Nice.

.07. "Bricks and Mortar"_____Editors

-This album (In This Light and On This Evening) came out last year, but in digital release only. Then it came out this year physically. This might be my least favorite album by them, but nice try. I wonder what is next.

.06. "Lost A Girl"_____New Young Pony Club

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-"Lost A Girl" beat out "Chaos" (another amazing track from "The Optimist" album). When are they coming back to L.A.? Do see Coachella.2011?

.05. "I Can Change"_____LCD Soundsystem

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-I heard this track live at Coachella this year and fell in love with it. It's a simple break-up love song with a throw back beat. Is this really the last and final end of LCD? I hope not. The party just got started. Reconsider Mr. Murphy.

.04. "Not In Love (feat. Robert Smith)"_____Crystal Castles

-WHAT A FCVKn AMAZING collaboration. How did they keep this a secret. Robert Smith's voice over a CC beat is BRILLIANT. I was not going to put it on, but this is a REALLY GOOD SONG. The way it flows and picks up. This is a perfect song. GENIUS!

.03. "What You Know"_____Two Door Cinema Club

-You gotta get to know this band and see them live, AMAZING! The album (Tourist History) is pure Electro-Rock fun. It's full of energy and great tunes.

.02. "Right Behind You"_____Brandon Flowers

-At first, I was not crazy about "Flamingo", but a couple of listens and I was hooked. Who is next to go solo, Karen O...maybe?

.01. "Lights"_____Interpol

-When they gave this track out for free, I could not stop playing it. The way it starts and how it picks up and ends. This is another perfect song. I do not know if it's me, but I always feel the emotion every time Paul Bank's sings. He is a true poet and a underrated one like the best (Morrissey, Robert Smith, Martin Gore, Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis, just to name a few). This is there worst album (Interpol), is pure BULL$H*T!

Tricky (LiVE!) @the.Troubadour (Los Angeles, CA)

Tricky

@the.Troubadour
Wednesday.December.22.2010

DAM! I have never seen a lazy performer in my life. Not even a minute into the show, Tricky takes his shirt off. Does he think he is the nex Iggy Pop? I did not hear a yell from anyone in the crowd. Funny. This is a disappointment. He could of been high because I could hardly hear him. The girl did more of the singing (more like whispering) and she wasn't great. She looked a bit like Amy Winehouse and she sometimes wanted to sound like her. She was no Martina Topley-Bird. While she was singing, Tricky would be facing the drummer just smoking his cigarette and move side to side a bit. I was surprised that they let him smoke. Not only once, but a couple of times.

Before the concert started, Tricky was walking around the venue with two security guards. Really? Has anyone told him that we all aged. I did see a couple of parents with there kids. I like seeing that.

Tricky only played two songs from "Maxinquaye" (What?!?! and they didn't even sound great. It was WEAK!) album and I don't think any from "Pre-Millennium Tension" (What?!?!). I wanted to hear a lot from the first two albums, but no. I was bored by the third song, but I stuck it out to see where this concert was gonna go. He started to invite people on stage. Not only once, but twice. Now that was a crazy. It seemed like half of the crowd was on stage. They kept pulling people up until you no longer see the stage and Tricky. There was this lady who went up and started to rub Tricky all over his body. It seemed like he didn't like it because he turned around and grabbed her arms. She looked a bit shocked. You would think he enjoy that. Maybe his girlfriend or wife was in the crowd.

Tricky went off stage and he came back on with his shirt on this time. He played a couple of songs and disappeared into the audience. He never came back on stage and his band stopped when they notice he was not coming back. I won't be back for sure.
\m/ - shoot me now.

Part.2 of my Top 50 Songs of 2010

Top.50.Songs.of.2010.(Part.2)

.33. "Atlas Air"_____Massive Attack

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-Amazing track from them.

.32. "Enter the Ninja"_____Die Antwoord

-Why have I not heard of them before hand. I saw them live at the Fonda not knowing what to expect and I was hooked. $o$ is a album to get.

.31. "What We Do"_____Devo

-I was sooooo hoping to love this album (Something For Everybody), but this was the only track I liked.

.30. "The Mall and Misery"_____Broken Bells

-This album (Broken Bells) came and went. What happen? It's not anyones list that I have read. This is a great track and the whole album is GOOD.

.29. "Hang With Me"_____Robyn

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-While Lady Gaga took a break during the Fall, here comes Robyn with a STRONG comeback. Now this is Pop music done right and what a smart artist to release 3 E.P.'s before the actual album. Smart, very SMART.

.28. "One Life Stand"_____Hot Chip

-What a STRONG comeback single (with the use of Laidback "White Horse" sample. Nice), but I was not crazy about this album (One Life Stand).

.27. "O.N.E."_____Yeasayer

This track is not played because it was used on a mix before.

-HELL YEA! Yeasayer released an AMAZING album (Odd Blood) and this was the KILLER standout track.

.26. "Best Friend"_____The Drums

-Another AMAZING album and they did not disappoint. Last year they released an E.P. with great songs and they delivered with this album (The Drums). I noticed a lot of self-titles this year.

.25. "Clarion Call"_____Delphic

-There was a bunch of hype on this band and when they did not play Coachella I was disappointed. FCVKn volcano. BUT...I got to see them open up for The Temper Trap and they blew that band away. What a show. The hype was TRUE!

.24. "Oh My"_____Operator Please

-Why have this band have not gotten any attention yet here. They ROCK and they are AWESUM live TOO! Get to know this band.

.23. "When the Party Is Over"_____Woodhands

-Another band I found by accident when I went to see We Have Band. They blew me away and I want to see them again.

.22. "If You Want It (French Horn Rebellion Remix)_____OMD

-I was so excited when I heard they where coming out with a new album (History Of Modern) and when it came out, I was not crazy about it. I did like the video and this remix.

.21. "Asian Kids"_____GoldenGirls

-Get the E.P.(XoXo) and you wont be sorry. I was not.

.20. "I Wanna Life"_____Goldfrapp

-She is back with a dance album that came out from the Footloose soundtrack. Nice. It took me awhile to get in to this album (Head First). A couple of listens and I was hooked.

.19. "Breakneck Speed"_____Tokyo Police Club

-WHAT A COMEBACK! HELL YEA! Champ (the album) is...AhhhWESUM! This is my favorite track from the whole album and it reminds me of "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins. What do you think?

Peaches.Christ.Superstar

@the.Orpheum

Friday.December.17.2010

"This is not what I expected", some girl said next to me. She kept on laughing and giggling for about 10 minutes into the show. I came close to saying something, but they walked out. Nice. They where not the only one's laughing and giggling at Peaches. Almost a quarter of the people where. I was (in my head), "did you guys not read into it?". It's her take on Jesus Christ Superstar. It's not gonna be this crazy Peaches show. The girls in front of me left and now the people on my right hand side decided to make out. Nice. One thing for sure, the crowd is very interesting to watch. The freaks do come out at a Peaches show and there is ALOT of them here tonight.

I never seen Jesus Christ Superstar so I have no idea what to expect. So far, this production feels like I am at a high school musical performance and some of the crowd does not help because of the laughing and giggling. I new it was gonna be something different, but who new it was gonna be just her with a piano player. I almost fell asleep in the first act. There should of been some dancers and some visuals. Just to keep people's mind busy. I came close to not coming but I was curious. I should of stayed that way.

I had to walk around during the intermission to wake myself up and to hear people. I went to the restroom and there was a girl barfing around a toilet not knowing that she was in a men's bathroom. Some one told her that she is missing a incredible show. I was, what?!?! Its not that incredible, it's just okay. So far a positive review and no one in the restroom disagreed. I was waiting for someone to say something bad, but nothing.

I went towards my seat and I noticed a person that looked like Jack Black seating behind me. I just thought he was a female to male. Hahahahahaha. I guess the haircut did not help. Who knows, but sure enough, it was him. People where taking pictures at the end of the show with him and that's when I new it was him. He is a Peaches fan, right on.

The 2nd half of the show started and some people had left. The couple that was making out never came back. Oh well. It was still the same set up, just her and the pianist. She did a costume change. Towards the end of the show the dancers came out. What?!?! She had dancers on stand by at the end. She crazy. When it was over, I was hoping for Peaches to give us a taste of a new song, but nothing.

\m/ - Bang!

WARPAiNT (LiVE!) @the.TROUBADOUR

Warpaint

@the.Troubadour

Sunday.December.12.2010

I arrived super early because I noticed some changes around the neighborhood on parking last time. So I just wanted to make sure I saw it right and sure enough they did change the headers. So I looked around and I found a spot nearby my old spot. Nice, but I double checked just to make sure and it was cool to park.

I am inside the.TROUBADOUR and it's half empty in here and I grabbed a good spot. For a Sunday night SOLD OUT show is very empty right now. The first band went on (Drug Cabin) and they where good. They only played four songs and I wanted more. I need to look them up when I get home. Wow. This place got packed quick when they got off.

I looked into the crowd and it's very colorful (clothing) and young. I was hoping for some dark and goth attire. I see jackets, coats, beanies and some scarfs. Did these people flew in from the east coast? It's was FCVKn warm out today and tonight it's breezy and cool like a summer night.

The next band was CC. Does that stand for Crazy Crap? What the hell was that? When I saw the stage setup (3 drum sets and a Korg), I thought it was gonna be some crazy cool jam thing because one member from Drug Cabin is in this band. Once they started I was BORED. Just atmospheric noise.

WOW! Now that was a show. All that buzz and they lived up to it. I have the album and it's a good album, but hearing it live was AMAZING. They changed some of the songs around which I prefer better then the actual album. I was so invested from start to finish and I think the people around me where to. It was a GREAT show, but I wonder if they had no visuals would they still been as great? I think so.
