Woody’s Best of 2010
Best Live Musical performances:
Jay-Z in NC – BP3 wasn’t his best, buts its HOVA and he did the best of his best.
Thievery Corporation at Camp Bisco- Have wanted to experience them live since their smooth seamless trip/hop first entered my brain.
Pretty Lights in NC- Savoy opened.. it was ever so dooope
Lotus at All Good- WoW!! Woooow!! Who’s with me?
Major Lazer in NYC- A wild n’ crazy live show, so much energy.. did that really just happen? YES. No wonder they make 6 figures per performance..
Steve Aoki at Electric Zoo- best live performance of any DJ I have ever seen. He owned everyone’s body, mind, and soul in that tent. I got some Moet Champagne on my favorite shirt.. it was awesome
Method Man at Moogfest- I was four feet from him, and he ripped all his shit from new to classic. Defiantly a dream come true.
Shinobi Ninja in NC- They rock, they rock, they ROCK HOOD!!
Holy Ghost! at Le Poisson Rouge- Combo of great venue and a huge great and talented band, that kills it live.
Fuzzy G and Mac Boi at 4TheLove Fest in NC- Their 1,2 punch of quick raps and jamin guitar on “Lady in the Water” is a masterpiece.
BassNectar- last but sure as hell’s not least. Whoomp Whoomp Whoomp.. you had to be there
(I know I’m forgetting some)

Dumbest Shit that happened to me:
Getting chased by dumb cops at Moogfest, ( that was dumb: details can be found in Moogfest post in early November)
I know I missed a bunch on these lists, but that was still an amazingly, radically, fun, spottieottiedopaliscious year.. however at this rate, 2011 is going to be off the effin charts. Someone please call the chart store, we are going to need lager charts. Like muuuch larger.
