Today is July 17th and it has been a good music year
Every year, I put together these mixes that are about the closest thing to scrapbooks that I have from the past six years. Since July and 2010 are more than half-over (today is the 198th day of 2010) I decided it was time to update this year’s mix. I hadn’t been keeping it current because I’ve basically listened to two or three different artists excessively for the entire year and a mix full of two or three artists seems wrong. And then I remembered that it’s a mix of things I’ve been listening to and that’s the entire point, so I can fill it with whatever makes sense. If it ends up being half Avett Brothers and half Jónsi, then that’s cool. But it didn’t! So here it is:
- The Avett Brothers - I And Love And You
- DJ Earworm - 2009 United State of Pop
- Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds
- The Avett Brothers - Salina
- Fanfarlo - The Walls Are Coming Down
- Broken Bells - Sailing To Nowhere
- Jónsi - Boy Lilikoi
- Jónsi & Alex - All The Big Trees
- Jónsi - Go Do
- Cloud Cult - Running With The Wolves
- fun. - Benson Hedges
- B. o. B. - Don’t Let Me Fall
- Parachutes - Where Were You?
And somewhere along the way, I realized it’s been a really good year for me in the music department. And not just music, but happy and inspiring music. I don’t listen to past years’ playlists too often because they’re super depressing. And that’s not because those years were depressing, but the music was. The 2010 mix (so far) just makes me smile. I did ring in the New Year with the Avett Brothers in Asheville, so I guess that started things off on the right foot.
