LivingEars 30 Favorite Albums of 2010

As I mentioned, I got burned out recently . But the list is something people ask for and care about and I like to read others so here it is. Simple and without explanation. I planned on writing about each of these but I don't have the drive right now. I played them all a lot, I think they are all worth checking out, I suggest you buy or dl all of them and hope you discover something new. 30. Matthew Dear - Black City 29. Male Bonding - Nothing Hurts 28. Caribou - Swim [...]

What is going on with LivingEars

Jan 19, 2011, 7:14pm Living Ears
What is going on with LivingEars You may have noticed very few new updates on the site lately. I've also been absent from my show on UtahFM for about 2 months now. I think I spent so much time and energy building my year end lists that I got burned out on music. I did post my track list and got good response but somewhere right around then I lost my ability to get excited and enjoy what I was doing with music. I never did post my albums list. Maybe the people who say rating and criticizing art is negative are right. But I feel [...]

Times New Viking are back

Jan 19, 2011, 6:56pm Living Ears
Times New Viking - No Room to Live from Merge Records on Vimeo . One of my most favorite songs of 2k9 was Times New Viking's "Move to California." The rest of the album was mostly a miss for me but that song still hits hard. It's a beauty. I saw today that the band have a new album coming in April and they are releasing the first song from it. That's the video above and here is the mp3. I'm not really into it. It sounds like a bad Elliot Smith [...]

Boiler Room #38 – James Blake

Jan 7, 2011, 5:09pm Living Ears
You may remember a few weeks ago when I posted this Jamie xx Boiler Room mix . It was a great mix but this fuckin party host keeps interrupting the damn thing to drop shout-outs and spit other useless words into the mic. Well, James Blake recently hit the Boiler Room and the mix is sick. It's way darker than I expected but once again this fuckin guy steps on nearly every song. I can't figure out what the format of Boiler Room is because this time he forces Blake to pull the needle on a couple [...]

Jamie xx BBC 1 Mix and Gil Scott-Heron Remix

Jan 7, 2011, 11:14am Living Ears
I missed everything that happened on the internet yesterday so this morning has been filled with some wonderful treasures thanks to Jamie xx, Pinglewood and GVB . Is this guy as on fire as everyone says he his? It seems difficult that every mix he does could be so sick but the man delivers time and time again. I got to see him in some basement in New York a couple of months back and after blowing a speaker on track 2 I knew the bass was doing major damage to my hearing. I can't [...]

Pop That Rocks – Warm Thoughts

Jan 5, 2011, 7:12pm Living Ears
Warm Thoughts One of my favorite blogs for at least a year now has been Pop That Rocks . The guy who runs it, Rob, has fantastic taste. We are often posting the same things and he beats me to a great remix now and again as well. I tried to convince him to come write for LivingEars when he left WordPress for Tumblr but he's got his own thing going. After that I asked him to make a mix for the site sometime and I'd post it. Lucky for us, he has taken me [...]

Hard Mix – A Winter Mixtape [for LivingEars]

Jan 5, 2011, 11:27am Living Ears
One of my absolute favorite artists/producers to come on the scene in 2010, Hard Mix was kind enough to make this mix for LivingEars. My love affair with Hard Mix started when he dropped "Memories," but when "Had" came out a few months later it showed a different side to the music, a more emotional side that I really fell in love with. "A Winter Mix" finds Hard Mix exploring the sounds he so effectively creates by showing off some of his favorite artists and tracks. It's really quite lovely. It's a soundtrack for letting go and falling deep into [...]

Creep – Days

Dec 29, 2010, 4:10pm Living Ears
I certainly understand wanting to make money off your work. I even understand wanting final say over released product but when the video for "Days" leaked a few weeks back the band scrambled to contact the few sites (and youtube) that had posted an early cut of the video. It needed some post-production to tighten it up but the concept is not going to change. It was an early preview for fans who cared. But the band went on the offensive and asked me to pull my post. I kind of find that lame. I find it lame that I [...]

The So So Glos – Live Like TV

Dec 29, 2010, 2:12pm Living Ears
The So So Glos - "Live Like T.V." from Matthew Greeley on Vimeo . I somehow missed that the Glos released a new EP this year until just a couple of days ago. This song in particular is stuck in my head. This is probably their best song yet. The whole EP is great and overall it is better than the Tourism/Terrorism album from last year. They've brought the ruckus down and brought the songs up. Tweet

Chase & Status – Blind Faith

Dec 28, 2010, 4:51pm Living Ears
Anything that samples "Good Vibrations" is alright in my book. Sometimes a song so completely over the top really feels good. This jam from London duo Chase & Status is one of those jams. This sounds like it needs to be played in the biggest club in the city at the loudest volume possible. Perfect for your New Years party. Chase and Status - Blind Faith [feat. Liam Bailey] by Brandinio Tweet

Emeralds – Genetic

Dec 22, 2010, 9:00pm Living Ears
Emeralds - Genetic
As I mentioned, I've been going nuts over the James Blake album but just before it leaked I was going through some additional year end lists (wait for mine!) and came across Emeralds. They always sounded like they'd be too glitchy and not my thing but this track "Genetic" off their latest Does It Look I'm Here is really something. I mean REALLY SOMETHING. The album is fantastic but this is my highlight. Tweet

When something great leaks so far in advance…

Dec 22, 2010, 8:19pm Living Ears
James Blake - Wilhelm's Scream (live at London's Union Chapel)
So, in case you've been in an avalanche in the past week you probably know that James Blake's debut album, James Blake , has leaked (btw, side-note, do you italicize an album or underline? or are both acceptable? Or is it quotes?). I was thinking back to early leaks of yore and realized that Beach House's Teen Dream leaked in late 2009 and back in 2008 I remember Animal Collective's "Merriweather Post Pavillion" leaking on Christmas Day. So while this may be just some 'thing' and honestly I am not that into Teen Dream [...]
