20. The Hold Steady – Hurricane J

Craig Finn, while less belligerent, is still plenty drunk and emotional and frank on Heaven Is Whenever, and the group delivers one of their poppiest efforts thus far.  “Hurricane J” is a plea to a lost soul he may be care a little too much about, spoken plainly and perfectly alongside a perfect tropical storm metaphor.  We’ve all known someone like the person Finn describes, and we’ve all said the exact same things.

Once every three months I list the best of what I heard in albums/songs/remixes for the quarter. I do this to personally keep up with all the awesome music I hear, as it ultimately helps me at the end of the year when I do my overall listing for the previous twelve months. I also do it to introduce you cool cats to tunes you may have missed independently.

2010 was a great year for movies, and in the coming weeks/months, I’ll be doing a post of films I missed this year and didn’t get to watch until later.  Awards season is usually the time I catch up on my movie-watching, and this year is no exception.  Even living in an art-centric city like Austin (with an amazing venue for movie viewing like the Alamo Drafthouse) I still slacked on my film viewing in 2010, so obviously I feel this list is incomplete.  But nevertheless, here are my picks for the Top 5 movies I saw in 2010.

5. Shutter Island

4. Exit Through the Gift Shop

3. Toy Story 3

2. Inception

1. The Social Network
