I originally planned to have this out on January 1st, 2011 but a wise friend recently said it would be nice to have the top 100 list for his upcoming New Year’s Eve party and well… I thought some of you may also share the same sentiment. Enjoy.

Wow! What a year! Personally it was the hardest year I have ever had. Academically, I was finally able to finish my University degree and prepare to move on to bigger and better things. But thanks to the way the Canadian Government has handled the economic situation over the last couple years I’m finding jobs in my field scarce and very hard to come by. So I’m now faced with the decision to either a) further my education and become even more qualified when employment starts opening up again (and thus have a stronger starting income) or b) take my dreams on the road and once again experience the world. Having been to China, Japan, Austria, Germany, France, and some other smaller, more remote places in the past, I’m thinking it’s about that time to buy a ticket overseas. That being said… anyone in Europe or Asia have a nook in their place I can set up shop in?
Besides all that, this past year had me move a total of three times, and four times if you count the library while I studied furiously for seminar exams/papers. I’m now very excited to see and experience what 2011 has in store for myself. But I don’t think I could have quite made it through all the shitty times without such great music coming to us this past year.
I want to personally thank all the artists who submitted music our way. You helped lift us up when times were low and brought us back to the dance floor. I also want to personally thank our fans and readers who made this blog what it is. Without all of you this site would just be a bunch of empty words. You are why we do what we do and I hope it never stops.
Without rambling anymore, here’s our own little recap on 2010.
We wish you all the very best for 2011!
