One of my intentions for 2011 is to write more: books, blog, personal correspondence. I’m working on edits for S.C. I have a longer blog in the works, but in the meantime I wanted to finish this wee one I began a few weeks ago.
I’d like to share a few albums & artists that I discovered and loved in 2010 (Many of them are not new, just new to me).
For the last seven years, I feel like my musical listening has consisted primarily of children’s music with the occasional beloved album from my youth thrown in for comfort listening. Of mainstream artists, I have NO clue. Any new listening has come from the trusted recommendations of friends, online and off. I don’t own an iPod, and most music I listen to is on my computer or in the car (on old fashioned cds).
So…here are my top ten (in no particular order) new-to-me artists of 2010:
Zoë Keating
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
It’s a varied list, but each is rich and wonderful in their own way.
