364 Down, 1 To Go

It's almost over! Before you go out tonight, drink yourself into a stupper and make awkward sexual advances at your hot second cousins, let's reflect on the year that was.

Uhm. That'll take too much time. Instead, here's a .gif of one of my favorite moments of 2010.

Yes, I have problems.

As you have noticed this blog has a new title. With the new title comes a slightly different format. Don't worry, it will still be mostly about music, but I wanted to incorporate other facets of my life as a way to vent. It's cheaper than a shrink.


So back to 2010. This was a weird year. It was stressing. I studied a lot. A lot. I finally finished school and made some awesome friends along the way. I had my ups and downs with my girl but we've managed to get through it. I was unemployed (an loving it) for three months. I binged on junk food. I listened to plenty of great music. I had fun with my family and friends. I've also learned a lot about myself .

2011 seems like it will be a bitch.

I plan to attend Grad school next Fall so that means I have about eight months to work and save up money. That means I have to get a better paying job for the meantime. Damn, I hate being an adult. Can't I sit around in my Spider-Man underwear and color while watching Saturday morning cartoon?

Back to 2010.

I could sit here and type away about my thoughts on this year's music but I'd rather not. I will say this though, The Root's "How I Got Over" was my favorite album of the year.

Hands down.

Also, I got into a really diverse range of music. Two new bands that I really enjoyed are Real Estate and Tame Impala. If you like twangy, guitar-driven rock then you'll dig Real Estate. If you like trippy, acid-fueled, psychedelic rock them you'll dig Tame Impala.



Oh, and I've also gotten into Afro-Beat! And by that I basically mean Fela Kuti. Just think Jazz, rock, and Africa. That's Afro-Beat.


I also liked the Broken Bells album. That was tight.

That's basically all I want to say at the moment. I hope 2011 brings me more music and more chances to grow and become a better person.

2010 is almost gone so have fun! I know I will. I'll be the one dancing like this.



Lates.
