I don’t know who pointed me to Said the Gramophone‘s top 100 songs of 2010 mix, but…thanks guy/gal. Among the 70 or so songs that I didn’t already know and/or like, I fell for the following:

• Austra . “Beat and the Pulse”
• Basia Bulat . “The Shore”
• Beach House . “Zebra”
• Blue Hawaii . “Blue Gowns”
• Eternal Summers . “Bully in Disguise”
• Frog Eyes . “Flower in a Glove”
• Iron & Wine . “Walking Far From Home”
• Khaira Arby . “Khaira”
• Laura Marling . “Alpha Shallows”
• Lykke Li . “Get Some”
• Maison Neuve . “Under Skies of Fire”
• Ô Paon . “Sainte Patronne de Rien Pantoute”
• Surfer Blood . “Swim”
• Warpaint . “Undertow”
• Zola Jesus . “Lightsick”

I think I’ve fallen hardest for the Khaira Arby song. The first time I listened to it I hit ‘repeat’ about four times. But the Iron & Wine, Maison Neuve and Basia Bulat songs are catching up fast.
