The Tallest Man On Earth has completed work on a new album. There’s No Leaving Now will be out on June 12 (June 11 in the UK) on Dead Oceans. Shows in New York, London, Stockholm, Amsterdam, and Berlin are also announced. Stay tuned for more dates and news.

I’ve never been very decisive.  I can’t even begin to think of choosing a favorite album from 2010.  I did however pull myself together long enough to list some of my favorite songs from 2010.  These are the ones that stuck with me, forced me to sing along, or made me tap my feet. I won’t be forgetting them any time soon and can’t wait to see what 2011 brings.  So, in no particular order, here’s my list.
