Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Bright Lit Blue Skies

One of the coolest and most varied albums of 2010, for me, was Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's, Before Today.

Each song sounds so different yet oh so cool, and Bright Lit Blue Skies is a happy pop tune perfect for any lazy Sunday summer afternoon.

And although we haven't had the best summer, we have had our fair share of bright lit blue skies. So here's hoping that there's many more to come with lazy afternoons spent sitting on the beach and drinking ice cold beer.

Yeasayer - One

As we get closer to the end of 2010, I thought I'd take a look back to Jan and see what was floating my boat, and the first thing that came to my mind was Yeasayer.

I thrashed the crap out of this album for the first six months of this year, probably neglecting a fair few other bands because I just couldn't stop playing this.

The film clip is a bit strange, but the song is so damn good, just makes me wanna dance.

British India - Avalanche

Melbourne Rockers British India are back with their third album and it's kicking my arse with it's awesomness at the moment. Earlier this year I was all about my overseas bands, but it's great to see there's some killer albums from Aussie artists starting to fill up my 'top ten' list of albums for 2010. This is making it on the list so far.

It's great to have some cool Aussie rock to listen to that hasn't been watered down, plus the clip has slow-mo, and what guy doesn't love some sweet slow-mo action?

The Big Pink - Crystal Visions

What to do, what to do? I’ve got so many albums in my ‘added in the last 2 months’ play lists that I’m continually fighting with myself over what to listen to.
Yeasayer, Hot Chip, Edward Sharpe, Broken Bells, Vampire Weekend, Surfer Blood, Temper Trap and The Big Pink.

The Big Pink has been winning a few of these battles, thanks to track one on their album, Crystal Visions. It’s an epic song that sets up the album perfectly.

Get on board people.
