Now that you're probably tired of these lists, here's mine. Am I the only one to deliberately wait until the year is over before starting this listmania frenzy? Maybe I just don't care about the pageviews, ads or the reputation. Or maybe I just couldn't make up my damn mind. Though I look ...

The Xx – Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)
I’ve already declared Nosaj Thing a kid to look out for. Now listen to this impeccable remix, along with a Charlotte Gainsbourg/Beck remix.
Jónsi – “boy lilikoi”
Jónsi of Sigur Rós goes english on a marvelous first track for a tba LP. Can’t wait.

Four Tet – “Love Cry” (Joy Orbison Remix)
New dubsteppy remix for the already masterly Love Cry is blissful and a whole lot epic. Delicious.

Massive Attack – Psyche Remix
Pitchfork semi-bashes their new EP for staying true to their sound. Can somewhat relate, but ethereal Psyche is on heavy rotation here.
Nosaj Thing – Drift
You can't read much about Nosaj Thing aka Jason Chung (as simple as Jason spelled backwards) without finding a reference to Flying Lotus. The two are both active in the LA beat culture and have a comparable style, which some would describe as instrumental glitch-hop, whatever that means. But ...

Lushlife Cassette City Feature
Only heard a few tracks but this gives me sort of the same feeling I had when I first heard Foreign Exchange’s Connected. Not groundbreaking, but incredibly refreshing nostalgia to 90′s hiphop.

Nosaj Thing – “Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)” •
Jon Hopkins’ take on Us, featured on Drift Remixed, is a lot more aggressive. The video flows through the slaughter, preparation and devouring of a meal as its high point. The cleaning in heavenly light as its downfall. Great concept as the video perfectly aligns with the ambiance of the song.

Massive Attack – “Atlas Air” •
Massive Attack videos are exactly like their music. Dark, uncompromising in style with attitude and a slightly offset integrity. Serves as a prequel to the marvelous “Splitting the Atom” video.

I’m Still Here (2010)
The documentary felt a little monotonous , the cut and paste style could be more refined. I missed some sort of moral, but the mockumentary in itself was pretty fun.
Black Swan (2010)
Super intense melodramatic film making by one of my favs. It’s a scary nightmare condensed in one epic tale.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)
It’s too much of a kids film for me to enjoy, but the animation and cinematography looks gorgeous which makes up for a lot.
