A note
Although I’ll stick by my decision that Nick Cave is my album of the year - I must stress that the Portishead album is really really really good
End of the Year List
So, all multimedia websites/magazines are compiling their end-of-year lists. If I recall correctly MGMT came first for NME, Kings of Leon for Q, She and Him in Paste, TV on the Radio in Rolling Stone (& Spin) and Fleet Foxes in Paste. Now heres the REAL list, enjoy.
1. Dig, Lazarus, Dig - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver
Third - Portishead

Wish I was back home so I could go to the Edinburgh gig.

Big Dreams and the Endless Country
After finishing an album called ‘Photography’ earlier this year I wasnt really sure what direction to take in terms of the next one. Most of you will have no idea what I’m talking about so I suppose a little background is necessary.
For the last few years I have been writing music mostly for myself with the aim of producing one focused album a year. When I say...
