yesterday, i began my look back at 2010. for the last several years, i’ve spent about a week looking back on the various media that were my favorites of that particular year, and 2010 will be no different for me.

so, each day this week, i’ll post a list that presents my 25 favorite of the given category. here’s the lineup for the week (each day i’ll come back and update this list with links):

monday: tv shows
tuesday (today): new music discoveries
wednesday: cover songs
thursday: songs
friday: albums

as i’ve stated before, i consume a lot of music. i find a lot of really great music as well as my fair share of not so great music. most of it falls somewhere in between those 2 extremes. there’s so many new artists i discover that don’t necessarily fit into my best albums list, but i’d like to share about (and actually, a few of these artists do appear on my best albums list). this list—which i’ve never done before—does just that. there’s a lot of great artists that, prior to 2010, i had never even heard about that found their way into regular rotation in itunes. so, i hope you can discover some new music too.
