You have probably heard Metronomy. They have done many remixes for many great artists. My personal fav, and the one that introduced me to the UK electronic trio is the Temposhark & Imogen Heap collaboration "Not That Big." More notably, they've...

What's more exciting and original than summing up your year in a series of lists? Anyway, went to a ton of shows this year and since I'm not going to another one (I'm aware of at the moment) until February, here are some great shows I saw this ye...
