TOP TEN 2010

A little late but here's the Top Ten of 2010 (quantity purchased). Everything we have available (mp3, cd, vinyl, etc, as full albums or individual tracks) was included in the running but releases on iTunes and other online shops had an obvious advantage. So here's the list:

1. Au Revoir Simone - "Back in Time" mp3 (Komptrax, tbtmo34)
2. Audio Mjao - "Don't Rush" mp3 (Komptrax, tbtmo34)
3. Collette Carter - "Space Age Love Song" mp3 (Info & Last Nite, tbtmo29)
4. Dirty on Purpose - "Your Summer Dress" mp3 (Komptrax, tbtmo34)
5. Collette Carter - "x o x o" mp3 (X O X O ep, tbtmo36)
6. Collette Carter - "Learning to French" mp3 (X O X O ep, tbtmo36)
7. Pacifica - Honey Nut (mp3 full album, tbtmo35)
8. Collette Carter - "Tan Legs..." mp3 (X O X O ep, tbtmo36)
9. Collette Carter - "Cruisin' Cooper River" mp3 (X O X O ep, tbtmo36)
10. Collette Carter - "Dreaming" mp3 (X O X O ep, tbtmo36)

Au Revoir Simone on Dinner with the Band

So yeah, by complete accident I caught Dinner with the Band on IFC(HD), and the guest band was the synth-pop trio of angels Au Revoir Simone. That's kind of crazy (but not). The show's filmed in NYC/Bklyn I guess, and they're from NYC/Bklyn, and they are apparently moderately huge for an indie band, touring the worls several times over (crazy), so it kind of makes sense. Anyway, check IFC(HD) to see if you can find it, or it's available on iTunes for 1.99, so if you like them you might find this fun to watch. If you are still out of the loop, um, check them out. They've a few releases plus remix albums out at this point. I'd suggest doing us a solid and checking out their track "Back in Time" on Komptrax, our enlightening indie pop/rock comp of 2007. It's not exclusive (it was on their first ep Verses of Comfort, Assurance, and Salvation) but it's great, and Komptrax is collection of similarly special stuff. Anyway, watch that show and buy some tracks.
