Stereogum's Top 50 Albums (and Top 15 EPs) of 2010

"Top EP of the year? I celebrate playing flamingo on the beach"

What:

"Stereogum.com was one of the first MP3 blogs and remains the leading online community for independent and alternative music news, downloads, and videos". They just published their EOY list.

Comments:

This year, Stereogum decided to make two charts. Top 50 albums and Top 15 eps. I spotified both. Robyn's Body Talk is a kind of "best of" of her previous EPs Body Talk pt.1 & pt.2. The album is not available on Spotify, so I took the songs directly from the two EPs (Body Talk includes some new songs, too: these are missing). Zola Jesus' Stridulum EP is fully included in Stridulum II album. I took the songs from it. All this album/EP/single thing is getting more and more complicated. :o)
