busy december/favourite music in '10.

forgive me. i've been rather busy lately so i haven't posted anything new & i haven't spent very much time browsing those i watch on dA.

i'm giving a large collage to my sister as a gift, so i've been working on that as well as a bit of client work i've managed to scrounge up. paychecks are nice. anyway, i haven't decided if i'll photograph & post that large collage or not. we'll see. i've been doing a lot of writing about music, making mixes, & pointless lists such as "best of 2010" too. obsessive personalities, you know.

i'll share my favourite 2010 releases so far in case you're looking for music to check out. in no order:

1. two wounded birds - my lonesome [mellow surf/pop] [single]
2. dum dum girls - i will be [garage/pop]
3. four tet - there is love in you [electronic]
