Megan's Favorites of 2010 Setlist - December 29th, 2010

Since this is the last Off Duty Trip of 2010, I decided it would be fun to pick out some songs that I dug in 2010 from 2010. It's really hard to jam in all these amazing tracks in two hours because I missed things that I wanted to play, bummer! I could have played music all afternoon if someone let me! I'll be posting a more compressive list (i.e. more then 10 albums) on the blog sometime soon, but for now go here: http://cjsw.com/2010/12/16/best-of-2010/ and click on the Off Duty Trip link to see my 10 favorite albums and shows of 2010!
