10 For 2010 looks forward to some of the most anticipated and least anticipated things in the music world over the upcoming 12 months.
Each fortnight a new article will be posted in the series, right up until the turn of the year.
Today’s post looks at some of the smaller more personal blogs (similar to Inidiescreet) who offer great articles week in week out.
Some of the blogs featured cover the latest big news stories whereas some only write about new upcoming acts and bands. Either way the 10 blogs listed below are definitely worth checking out and subscribing to, they’ll have some influence on your music taste in 2010!
The Recommender
The Recommender, aptly name, brings together loads of great new bands and artists in their frequent recommendation posts.
Best for: Acts which will be big next year
We All Want Someone To Shout For
Will over at We All Want Someone To Shout For always seems to feature the latest new tracks first.
If you ever hear about a new track from the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend or The Strokes then I’d suggest We All Want Someone be your first port of call.
Although saying that, the blogs scope is pretty wide, worth checking out for a bevy of popular new tracks.
Best for: Garage rock from the US and UK
Living Ears
Living Ears is pretty new to me but I’m already a fan. The blogs last Reuse Recycle Remix featured some of my favourite remixes of late.
Best for: The newest remixes from the best new remixers
Copy Cats
Copy Cats features only cover songs, remixes, and mashups. A great idea and a brilliant way to find some of those off the radar tracks which other aren’t widely covered.
Best For: Obscure cover songs
The Goodness
The Goodness features loads of awesome mixtapes and remixes from well known and upcoming acts.
Best For: Mixtapes, mixtapes and more mixtapes

Music Induced Euphoria
Music Induced Euphoria is your one stop shot for everything about The Strokes. The blog has nearly 300 articles dedicated to these guys! That’s dedication for you right there.
The blog isn’t only about The Strokes though, it features a host of other bands and tracks worth checking out.
Best For: The Strokes
Sum The Greater
Sum The Greater has made the list thanks to their brilliant weekly mixtapes, which manage to feature a wide range of acts such as Chiddy Bang, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool and Beach House all in one place.

@Will – No problem, yeah I’d say a lot of the acts you cover would cite their influences from garage rock and then the garage rock revival at the turn of the century.
Thanks for the lovin’! Garage rockin’! I didn’t even think of myself as that! I guess a lot of my stuff is on the more dirty lo-fi rock side.
@deedle – Fair point but blogs are always posting the same content, especially when there are new tracks around. I see where you’re coming from though.
@Scott No problem Scott, the aim of the list is for readers to check out new sites which they weren’t aware of.
Got your email, thanks for the coverage. Some new sites in that list for me as well. I appreciate it very much.
Yeah, but let’s be fair about copy cats – most of their cover songs are pulled directly from other cover blogs, the same week they are posted, without attribution or thanks. Makes for a pretty easy bit of work, innit?
