MV’s Top Albums of 2010 // #31-40
The next 10 albums of awesomeness with video montage… in no particular order of course:

40. Das Racist- Sit Down, Man - Listen to the mixtape here and check out the September video from the Santos house party. Jay says… 
“Go get it because it’s awesome.”
39.  Delorean- Subiza-  Jess says…
Get your dancing shoes on. This is the perfect mellow electro album.”
38. Local Natives- Gorilla Manor-
“We have been telling you about this band over and over again.  We chose them for our 10 of 2010 list in the beginning of the year and we can’t wait to see them next month at Governors Island.  This album is full of memorable melodies, unforgettable hooks and strong.”
 37. Yeasayer - Odd Blood  We all love this and here’s why:
A favorite with all the Vagabonds, this album tracked perfectly a great listen from start to finish.  One of those bands that you’re sure can’t sound that on point live, until they do.”
36. The Roots- How I Got Over It-  Another Vagabond favorite, we think:
This album shines with collaborations featuring joint songs with The Monsters of Folk, Joanna Newsom and John Legend.  Each track is better than the next.  As usual we are impressed.”
35. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings- I Learned the Hard Way- Laura says…
“The infectious, groovy and down-right soulful voice of Sharon Jones never gets old. Gospel, soul, and funk come together on their third album, which really sounds like the other two but none the less, a great album all around. Everyone needs a little soul :) Watch this awesome video from this summer in Prospect Park.”
34. Beach House- Teen Dream-
“We’re not really sure why you haven’t picked up this album yet. But we told you so.
33. Broken Bells- Broken Bells  L.Sizzle says…
“The musical brainchild of Brain Burton (Danger Mouse) and James Mercer, there’s no doubt you haven’t listened to this album about 47,000 times on repeat.”
32. M.I.A. - /\/\/\Y/\
“Stay true to our girl MIA. M.I.A for life!”
31. Black Keys- Brothers
“We are thrilled to see that everyone has finally caught on to the greatness that is The Black Keys.  If you keep up with us you know we have been long time supporters and are stoked to see that their latest album, Brothers is getting the attention it deserves when their other albums went generally ignored.”

Beach House @ The Bandshell

Hay Guys I’m Marla sup? TODAY IS A DAY OF FIRSTS. This is my FIRST postage to Music Vagabond( one of my favorite music blogs ev) and also my FIRST time seeing Beach House and The National live at The Bandshell in Prospect Park later today starting at 8pm. I’m spending the day with one of my BFFs Lauren Park for her 23rd birthday and we are expecting the performances to be nothing short of phenomenal. I would advise ya’ll to come out but this shits been sold out for like 3 months. But have no fear Beach House will be making their ways back around later this year. Until then stay Devoted.<3

I’m not sure how this happened, but the “New Moon” Soundtrack has some pretty kick ass artists on it.  Including Grizzly Bear and Victoria Legrand of Beach House.  Here they are performing “Slow Life”.

Another great track off that album is Bon Iver’s “Roslyn.” Check it out below with the rest of the artists featured on the soundtrack.
