Asian Dan’s Guest List: Penguin Prison’s Top 10 of 2010
1. Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
I love Kanye. He can be annoying definitely but he is making great music and is the most interesting pop star around right now don’t you think?
This album is great. I can listen to the whole thing all the way through and listen to it again right away. The production is very sophisticated and tasteful.
3. Midnight Magic – Beam Me Up (Jacques Renault Remix)
Maybe the best remix of the year. If I were at a dance club and wanted to dance and someone asked me what song I would like to dance to I would say this song.

4. Holy Ghost! – Static on the Wire
I helped make a few of the songs on this so I am biased but I think it would still be one of my favorites even if I weren’t involved.
5. Lykke Li – Get Some
I am sure her new album will be amazing but this is the only song out yet. I think its my favorite song she has ever done. She is going in a good direction.
6. Vampire Weekend – Giving up the Gun
I like the whole album but this song is my favorite. One of the best songs of the year in my opinion.
7. Active Child – When Your Love is Safe (Classixx Remix)
The best 90’s slow jam of 2010.

8. LCD Soundsystem – Home
This is my favorite song on their new album. It makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. That’s a good quality in a song.
9. Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours
I heard this song and I was wondering whether it was from the 80’s or something and I just never knew about it. No it’s new and it’s very amazing.
Amazing. Great production and her voice is one of a kind. The video is fantastic as well.
