Best Albums of 2010: #30-21 (John's Picks)

In the site's more recent, less updated form, we've failed to really cover music the way we have in the past. While that will not be changing for the time being, we still felt compelled to put together some lists to coincide with the end of 2010. Also, just because we haven't been blogging mean we haven't been listening to this year's slate of new releases. On the contrary, writing less about what's new has allowed us to better enjoy it. And now, we'd like to invite you to enjoy our much scaled-down 2010 end-of-year coverage.

New Fresh & Onlys, "Dude's Got A Tender Heart"

The Fresh & Onlys let out their second full-length record, Grey-Eyed Girls last week. You might have heard something about it. Well, now you get to hear something from it, just in case you don't already possess the San Francisco rockers' album. "Dude's Got A Tender Heart" plays just like it appears. It's a kooky, laid-back surf jam, chock full of psychedelic pop, and enough garage influence to keep it as the potential indie hit of the month. Intrigued? Check it out below, courtesy of Pitchfork. Grey-Eyed Girls is out now, via Woodsist Records.
