These are the best albums of 2004.

There’s nothing I can say about this horrible disaster, apart from to provide the following link:
Asia Earthquake and Floods Appeal
The Red Cross has launched an emergency appeal in response to the widespread flooding, caused by Sunday’s massive earthquake off the coast of Sumatra. More than 69,000 people are known to have died, thousands more are [...]
Huh? 3145 visits in less than a month, and that’s not including robots or search spiders?
I used to get a lot of visits because of the nightclubbing pics I posted. But since I haven’t been posting those recently, I can only assume a lot of people are amused by the rambings of a morbidly [...]

Eight great bands, going from the evil metallll of Dead By Dawn to the Boystown Discotronics of [Heart] Yeah!! The highlight for me was an amazingly ramshackle [...]
There’s a little pressie from me especially to yoooooou if you can be arsed to click the link to the White Town site above.
Mr. Riddim Killa himself
Woaah! You can definitely tell it’s Crimbo! The Bless was absolutely packed and consequently I didn’t get to play as much new music as usual. I find it strange when people get aggrieved that I don’t play The Killers / Libertines / Bloc Party / insert chart schmindie band. After all, they’re [...]
So, here’s how the story goes…
A while ago, I’m downloading music off the net (I’m not going to say where from just in case any nasty RIAA types are reading this). And I see an EP from a band I’ve never heard of called The Jeunes. So I download it, give it a listen and [...]
