So here it is! The soundtrack of our 2010 that was filled with crumpets, shows in mouldy basements, drunken club nights, swearing over shipping fees and drafty UK houses, all day breakfasts and fun fun fun!

LONG VERSION
It's been an absolute amazing for music this year. We have discovered and bought so many new records, seen so many amazing bands and made so many new friends. According to our last.fm we listened to just over 38000 songs. Lets hope this continues in 2011. Before we get started we want to thank everyone that sent us recommendations and songs, guest-dj'd, made and listened to the mixtapes and came to our club nights. This is what we enjoyed a lot this year.
