So here we are, left to reflect on another year gone by. We should feel blessed at the end of a year that gave us some pretty scrumtrulescent tunes. Whether it was Arcade Fire continuing their genius-crafting or the re-birth of Kanye, music once again refused to let us down. In a year where so many things went wrong, it is comforting to find solace in music from old friends and new upstarts. So without further fuss, here is Sloane Ranger’s Best Of for 2010. Buy. Listen. Repeat.
