Two months ago, Sunset in the Rearview and Hold My Coat decided to take submissions to a mixtape that we would call the "Best College Artists" mixtape. After a great number of submissions, the teams at SITR and HMC came together to vote and decide upon the artists we believe are worthy of being on this mixtape. The other day, BroBible released their "College Rapper Database" , which included what they considered their top 100 college rappers in order from 1-100. I vehemently disagreed with their list, [...]
![[2010 Year-End List] Favorite Songs](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3039048_lg.jpg)
So I've compiled a list of my favorites songs from 2010. It was... an interesting year for me. If you can pick out a theme among the songs, you're probably right about it. I know some were released in 2009 but they were more prominent this year. And yeah, some won't be released until 2011 but it's not that I can unhear them and unlike them. The world doesn't function like Facebook. Not to run off on some tangent, but I'm not sure what qualifies anyone to write a list and call the songs on it the [...]
BROKEN BELLSBroken Bells released a digital single of "The Ghost Inside" awhile ago. On it you can find the b-side "Meyrin Fields," which has been floating around the internet under the title "Float." You might like it more than the sleepy, passive a-side, and you may wonder why it did not make the album in its place. Unfortunately, only the Broken Bells know the answer to that. Enjoy this
![[Review] Oh Stereo – Oh Stereo](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3018935_lg.jpg)
Originally, I was going to write a quick post noting that Oh Stereo's self-titled debut album was available today. Well, it is available today and you can go to ohstereo.com to download it and enjoy some awesome music. The band is letting you choose how much to pay. In fact, through Christmas day, Oh Stereo is letting people pay whatever they want for it, including 0.00, to download Oh Stereo . It's the same setup that Radiohead had a few years ago. This post, however, turned from a quick post into an album review. [...]

Waiting for the Sun by Oh Stereo Oh Stereo is made up of Scott Marquart and Mason Hickman, two college roommates from Nashville, Tennessee. They just started making music a year ago and it seems people immediately picked up on their talent, because they've been playing shows around their area every since. I was another one of those people who immediately recognized their talent in creating sticky pop music. Synth-based, it falls under the fun category. Great driving [...]

Meet Old Stereo . They're Scott Marquart and Mason Hickman, a duo from Nashville, Tennessee. They met after becoming roommates in college. They soon started making music together, retreating from guitars, and experimenting with electronics. The result is the delicious synth pop of Oh Stereo. They're releasing their self titled debut album on December 2nd, and it will be available as a free down at their bandcamp. "Waiting For The Sun", the first single from the album is available for free download. It's my first taste of this band, and I'm convinced Scott & [...]
