Plenty of Rain & not enough Bows

Am I sad enough to get sucked into that end of Gregorian year stuff. Reminds me of all the Millennium silliness, when people thought the mere passing of a random Gregorian date would bring cataclysmic changes! Well as a matter of fact as an avid ‘Wire’ reader, I do look forward to see what is breaking new boundaries over the year. I have compiled a very personal, eclectic, eccentric & electric list of my firm favourites over the past year.

Here goes. As always any comments welcome.

Sufjan Stevens was way up there with all of his output. In fact only this week we have been listening to his xmas songs & singing along.

Astrid Gilberto always puts a smile on my face. I finally got a copy of Alexander ‘skip’ Spence’s ‘Oar’ & The Poets ‘Scotlands No 1 Group. Pure genius!

Mostly this was a year of catching up with many of the albums I have/had on vinyl & obtaining them in the digital format.
