stars and songs

Hi world!

We're nearing the half way mark for oh-ten and I'm sad to report that it's been an uninteresting five months so far. Broken Bells, Gorillaz, and Vampire Weekend have been my lifeline these past few months but to list only three bands is a heart breaker. I am looking forward to new LCD Soundsystem as they were the absolute high light of Coachella this year (next to Gorillaz). All the major blogs have had good reviews for LCD so that makes me more excited than bananas in pajamas. My favorite show review comes from Pitchfork where the author notes that most bands are sonically disorganized when drunk but James Murphy channels soul and charisma after swigging more than enough champagne and whiskey. He is my Williamsburg hero. He slurred his way through "Losing My Edge" at Coachella but that made him infinitely more amazing. How can that double standard exist?

So, 2010, what do ya for me?
