Big in 2010

Well, even though 2009 had great music, rather than relive the past, isn't it fun to get excited about what the future holds. And 2010 has some incredible things in store. Here are some of the albums we are most looking forward to in 2010:


Vampire Weekend - Contra
The followup to their amazing debut album, the first single from Contra, 'Cousins' promises more of the same prep-rock rhythms we've come to love. Great video as well.


Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
Not a ton is known about the new Gorillaz record, but its been almost 5 years since Demon Days (really?) and that makes us excited to hear what's next. This "band" is always pushing the boundaries of genre and collaboration. Very fitting that they help bring us into a new decade of music.


Hot Chip - One Life Stand
And maybe a more selfish selection, any new Hot Chip music is good music. This band always makes a complex, fun, and danceable record that can be played at any occassion. Can't wait!

Honorable Mentions
We have also heard or hope to be hearing new music from OutKast, Missy Elliott, Kanye West, Erykah Badu, Justin Timberlake, The-Dream, Dr. Dre, Kelis, Keri Hilson, and Justice. Go 2010!
