Brighton's favourite DIY indie popsters Porridge Radio make The Guardian's 40 tips for 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/28/from-shamstep-to-drill-the-top-40-newcomers-of-2018 They have a new track they are playing live at the moment 'Lilac' that I am completely convinced is a hit.

The Zimpel/Ziołek record at no.2 is really good.

I think the Duds record is my album of the year. Has it been getting much end of year love?

I'll give it another go. I've liked stuff by both but thought the collaboration didn't do either of them any favours.

I thought Herr T was having a good natured dig at me tbf! And to clarify my point isn't that Rough Trade is in anyway prejudice just that this list, as always, is skewed toward people that buy the most records (Radio 6 listening, middle aged, white, men - I'm about 5 years away from being one!)...

I fear the St. Vincent record might be a bit too pop for the RT/ 6 Music crowd. Also, a record shop based in London can't find space for a single grime record in its top 100 albums of the year? Come on now, please.

How the new Four Tet record isn't among the top 100 released in 2017 is completely beyond me. And the St. Vincent album.

Not going to pretend to have heard everything but there's some distinctly average records in that top 100. Very middle age. Very white. Very rockist. At least that putrid (aside from the excellent single that sounds like ABBA) Arcade Fire record isn't in there.
