Short and sweet. Delicate, melancholy, soft, instrumental. Music to make your heart ache in the best possible way.

Hope everyone’s enjoying the new year thus far! You’re going to have to bare with me as I work my way through my “Farewell 2010, Welcome 2011!” posts. I’ve been in a bit of a shopping/family/hockey coma over the last week, and blogging has been the absolute last thing on my mind.

That said, time for my annual “best of the year” mixtape. Though, does it really count as annual if this is only my second time doing it? In any case, I’m going with it. Like last year’s Best of 2009 mix, I’m compiling a list of my favourite songs released in 2010.

I’d be fooling no one if I tried to deny winter was my favourite season. I’m a cold weather kind of girl. I love everything about it. One of the things I love most about Canada is that, despite pop culture belief, we experience four seasons. I don’t think I could ever live somewhere that didn’t have winter. It would be a travesty. But you know, the more I think about it, I think I could live somewhere that has perpetual winter. Call me crazy, but I think that sounds dandy. Kind of like this mix. Oh yeah, how’s that for a clever-boring-on-lame segue?

With one of my favourite seasons in full tow now – the leaves have changed colours, knitted scarves are out in full force, and generally blustery days are a-plenty – I thought I’d do a mini-ode to autumn in musical form. If you’re anything like me, autumn days translate to low-key, soft, laid-back folk-ish type music. If that’s your cup of tea, read on and enjoy!
