First post/ Favorites of 2010 so far.

Since I already spend a significant portion of my free time listening to music and making mixtapes (usually for myself....) I've decided I'm going to start a Blog! Well restart a blog, but we won't talk about the first attempt it was not so great. But anyways, here is a list of my 10 favorite songs, 5 favorite EP's and 10 favorite LP's I wrote down a couple weeks ago when I couldn't sleep! And yeah, I may or may not have taken the general idea for this post from altered zones. There are mp3s for all 10 songs and the EPs and LPs with links can be downloaded in full for free directly from the artists or their labels.

Songs:

I didn't pick any songs that were on any of the LPs or EPs on this list because they'll get their time to shine later. Also, I'm too lazy to upload mp3s so I just used links from other blogs. This of course means that by the time you read this post (never?) the links might be broken... but I'm new to this!
