The Filter: Best Albums of 2010 part IV |
|
 We are more than halfway done with 2010 and have seen some quite exceptional albums. Here are our top albums for the year so far:
 This is Happening by LCD Soundsystem
Debuting at #10 in the Billboard charts, the newest album by James Murphy et al has been hailed as a critical and commercial success. Opening with the track, "Dance Yrself Clean," which was sampled by Kid Cudi for his newest single, "All Talk", and ending with the unexpectedly upbeat, "Home", this album is amazing from beginning to end.
The Filter Picks: "Dance Yrself Clean", "You Wanted A Hit", "One Touch", "Home", "I Can Change"

 Kid Cudi posts a new single on his website. "All Talk", starts off with a sample of Christian Bale's infamous rant, a verse from fellow Clevelander Chip Tha Ripper, with Cudi rapping over LCD Soundsystem's, "Dance Yourself Clean". The track was initially available for download on Cudi's site but has now been pulled from zShare.

The Frugal Fashionista: Costello Tagliapietra x Uniqlo |
|
 Finally! The much-awaited collaboration between Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra's smart and sophisticated design sense with the simple yet trendy design aesthetic of Japanese uberbrand, Uniqlo, has finally come to fruition. This design collab launched in the Uniqlo store in Soho on May 20th, but has been in Japanese stores since April.
Uniqlo has always been a fave of mine, especially for staples that will last for a few seasons, that look good and are very affordable. Unfortunately for NEO-ers, Uniqlo only has one store in the US and it is in Soho. here is the address if you're ever in that neck of the woods: |

 TOP ALBUMS OF 2010 PART TWO
We saw a great number of amazing albums during the first quarter of this year. Here are our top album picks for 2010 (so far)...  American Ghetto by Portugal. The Man
Hailing from (gasp!) Wasilla, Alaska, this prodigious rock group is far from anything Palin-esque. Made up of the former members of Anatomy of a Ghost, Portugal the Man's 6th studio album is so eclectic, it runs the range between electro, indie-rock, psychedelia, and more. Unexpectedly catchy and upbeat, there is definitely nothing ghetto about this album.
The Filter Picks: "The Dead Dog", "All My People", "The Pushers Party", "When The War Ends"
