Halfway there...

So, 2010 seems to have been an eventful year all around so far, some good, some terrible and some mediocre events happening. If I think of all the things I've done this year, all the places I've been and people I've met, it's been an exceptionally busy 6 months with no sign of slowing down.

Festival season is ahead, lots of gigs booked and my eventual return to London and Brixton.

2010 has also been an equally busy year music-wise (something I predicted after 09's blowout of relative nothingness) with each month providing at least 2 great new albums and some excellent tracks to accompany. January ironically was probably the monster month with Vampire Weekend and Four Tet arriving within days of each other but the year has been consistent, a feat I don't expect to continue but am content with nonetheless.

Here is my Spotify playlist, one track from each band that has really done something to impress me this year. Because it's Spotify, I can't put everything on that I want to but if there's anything else that has blown you away in 2010, add away.

Most notable omittance as it's not on Spotify: Scuba - So You Think You're Special/ Niva - Ghost In My Head

Most excited about hearing in next 6 months: Mount Kimbie - Crooks & Lovers
