You might notice that the December 2010 mix is a little different from our usual mix. First, a lot of these tracks have been included on prior mixes whereas I normally try to avoid re-using songs from prior mixes. Second, it is pretty light on the indie rock (our bread and butter). This isn’t intended to indicate a change in direction around here. Instead, the December mix consists (with a few exceptions) of songs that were released in 2010, but that didn’t see a physical release and weren’t included as part of a larger album or EP. Second, I wanted to put together an upbeat, celebratory mix since New Years Eve is only a few days away. The result is that I put the sad bastard music away (one of my favorite types of music) and ended up with a chillwave and hip-hop heavy mix. Oh, and it was thrown together kinda quickly, so I hope you’ll forgive me if there are a few rough transitions that I overlooked. We’ll slow down here for the next couple of days, but we’ll be back in the new year with more great new music and the Turntable Kitchen Top Albums of 2010!
