Half-Time: Music Mule’s First XI – Albums of 2010 (so far)
Have you ever tried to write a top 10 list? Don’t, it’s a nightmare! Our first problem is that 10 isn’t that many! Secondly there are technicalities. Do we include albums featured in last year’s list (Darwin Deez, Local Natives, etc) that have only been “officially” released this year?

In doing so we’ll hopefully introduce you to a few more unknown quantities who deserve just as much of your attention. We are excited about that Yeasayer album though! Shhh. Here goes.
