Last week the PMACAST celebrated its twenty-fifth installment on its one year anniversary — yet no one wished us a Happy Birthday! What rude listeners we have. 
Anyway, moving on to the twenty-sixth episode, we are looking at 2010’s first quarter in music releases. I’ve assembled a 17-song playlist that will hopefully give you a nice taste of the album’s we’ve liked that will be released in Twenty-Ten. Download the mp3 below, find the tracklist after the jump.

*Warpaint’s Exquisite Corpse was actually released in October 2009, but we were consumed by year-end and decade-end lists to appreciate it then, so we’re bulking it up with the great music we’ve heard in 2010.
**Freelance Whales’ Weathervanes will be officially released by Frenchkiss Records this spring.

yea so I just joined the pma cast and i just wanted to give you guys a heads up that this stuff is the shit…
That first song is a belter. Was planning on giving the new VW album a miss, but may have to re-evaluate my plans!
Can someone talk me through this m4a chapters business?
What players recognise the chapters? Winamp aint got a clue. Will my ipod nano 2nd Gen work?
Problem with unsplit mixes is that i listen to the first 5 songs to death and never get near the end! Plus I never know what song is playing…

Oh God.

Got referred to PMA last spring by my friend who mixes for pjo in Gifted, and you’ve been my homepage ever since. Thanks for all the great tunes!
Holy hell! What a terrible oversight…
A (belated) happy birthday!

happy belated birthday!
also “Gold Rush” is pma
wasn’t Mumford & Sons 2009?
Their album Sigh No More will be released in the US in March!
So technically, it counts as 2010, since this is an American blog (judging by PMA’s twitter account)
