Been listening to the brilliantly tilted 'Content Nausea' by side project Parkay Quarts -a gift from The man with the White Beard. Recorded on a four track cassette it's a perfect antidote to the seasonal crap around at this time of year. Can't recommend if highly enough.

Here are my favourite 10 tracks of the year in no particular order- Sleaford Mods- Tiswaz Sleaford Mods- A Little Ditty Phantom Band- The Wind That Cried The World Joanna Gruesome- Jerome The June Brides- She Seems Quite Free The Amazing Snakeheads- I'm A Vampire Liars- Mess On A Mission Slug-...

Looking forward to this and includes a couple of interesting remixes of album tracks.

The trouble with EMA s album is that her first was just so good that my hope for the follow up was probably too high. This is unfortunately often the case. She is great live though and well worth seeing.

I am buying more music than ever before- all on CD or vinyl and seeing more live stuff but that's due to having more surplus cash now that my kids are older. I know what you mean about being demanding though. A few of my favourites have disappointed with their releases such as EMA and Mogwai...

I think the last few months have been the strongest for releases. On the whole though I think 2013 was the better year.

I think I can guess but would not want to spoil the moment.

Here is a review of Alvvays album. It will probably make my top ten. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19508-alvvays-alvvays/

I don't think I have ever heard a Temples song. Are you sticking with tradition and releasing your top tunes fairly soon?

It's that time of year once more.... http://www.roughtrade.com/aoty2014/1

Funnily enough they were playing this when I last went in there. Not the usual resident stuff.

Up until now my favourite Half Man Half Biscuit album has been Trouble Over Bridgewater. However Urge For Offal, the new album, could well be overtaking that position. The usual stuff, great songs and great lyrics about almost everything- a fortnights holiday in Devon, suicide and even a love...

Remember both of those but Disco 45 in particular. Clearly they had an appeal but can't see now in 2015 what was so special about being able to read the lyrics to the top thirty songs for that month. I did buy it though!

It's not as bad as it was pre 2010. Has had a bit of a makeover ( now the size of a magazine) and includes a good section called Radar which covers new bands. Album reviews I never trust as they will support whatever band they are promoting at the time. For example The Honeyblood album was given...

Saving it for the drive in to work tomorrow. Sure it will greatly lift the usual Monday Morning gloom.

Bought the new Half Man Half Biscuit album - Urge For Offal- yesterday. Hoping to give it a listen later on.

And Shit Arm Bad Tattoo by Half Man Half Biscuit gets a mention!

Thinking Avi Buffalo too. Possibly the slightly underrated Alvvays? Going to be a difficult time coming up with a top ten. A few disappointing albums 2014 especially the soon forgotten EMA and Mogwai efforts.

CDs seem to have been selling around the £10 price for about twenty years now. Totally inflation/deflation proof.

Cant wait for this. Another live date on the coast would be great.
