i have been enjoying plenty of great music this year, 2010.
so, i thought i would compile a top picks list.
seeing as we’re just past the half way mark of the year.

monica’s top albums of 2010 (so far):

beach house / teen dream
this album is still blowing my mind.
i think i got it in january or february.
it has become my go-to album.

school of seven bells / disconnect from desire
this just recently came out a few weeks ago
and i can’t stop listening.
favorite tracks: I L U, Windstorm, and Bye Bye Bye

the national / high violet
i listened to this album and this album alone
for approximately 5 weeks.
seriously, did not come out of my car stereo.

gorillaz / plastic beach
i’m not a huge gorillaz fan,
but this album has caught my eye (or ears)
and i’m really digging it.

i recommend all of these, but if you’ve only got the budget for one or two,
the top two are must haves.
actually, they’re all must haves.
forget the budget – BUY THEM ALL!
