I am happy to present the fortieth edition of the We Own This Town podcast and, consequently, the Best of 2010 yearly summary release. Putting together any Best Of list is often an insurmountable task but when paired with the avalanche of good music coming out of a relatively small area.. well, it becomes markedly more difficult. With that in mind, there are a few ground rules to make it easier:

No Music From Future Releases.

So, the new music that’s trickled out from the likes of JEFF, Hotpipes, James Wallace, PUJOL, Caitlin Rose, etc. are ineligible until they’re official out there in their full form.

Unfamiliarity Exempts Inclusion.

With so much good music out there I just can’t simply hear it all; despite if I hear that it is absolutely fantastic. So, bands like KORT, Casa Castile, Swing States, Shark Week, William Tyler, etc. are exempt because I simply have not heard enough to make an informed call.

Not Everything Makes the Cut.

A Best Of podcast that included everything that caught my ear would be far too long for practicality. Bands like Ocelots, Makeup and Vanity Set, Non-Commissioned Officers, Grayces, Uncle Skeleton, Super Bowl Rocket Ship, etc. are not excluded because they weren’t worthy, there just isn’t enough room. They should still be looked into.

But enough with the jibber jabber – my rationalization is a moot point now. Please download the podcast, enjoy and let me know in the comments what feels like a egregious error in omission.

If you're a regular reader of the site, some of the songs from the podcast may already be familiar to you. However, the songs are so good you really can't hear them enough. Basically, consider this a re-recommendation if you've been paying attention and a fresh new endorsement if you're just tuning in for the music. A few of these bands were found browsing around the Bandcamp Nashville tag and they are truly unheard gems as far as I can tell. Please, have a listen (it's only 20 minutes) and dive in further to the links below the jump for more info on the bands.

Download M4A Download MP3 The gap between podcasts seems to be widening every so slightly. This can be circumvented by having you, the reader, send in music to check out. Of course, that statement assumes that anyone is actually reading this. Our stats are grim. Regardless, if you encounter a local band worth hearing – […]

This edition of the podcast features a nice varied gamut of styles stumbled upon in the interim since the last release. Somehow I managed to drum up some aggressive rock, experimental diddies, electronic indie musings, folk goodness and some pure saccharine pop. Nashville manages to cover a wide net if you're looking in the right places. Please investigate more from all of these bands.. all of them are offering substantial albums or EP's worth getting into.

It's been a little over a month since the last podcast and it seemed like it was going to be quite awhile longer until the next edition came out. Fortunately, a little digging through Bandcamp's Nashville filter and the compilation came together in no time. Ten tracks, 33 minutes and a rather diverse lineup of bands. Hope you enjoy.
