Just thought I'd do a bit of an end-of-year list here for some records that came out in the last 12 months that I really enjoyed. So, in no particular order...

Cahill Costello - Cahill//Costello II

Drew McDowall - A Thread, Silvered and Trembling

Sean Curtis Patrick - Happy Home

Underworld - Strawberry Hotel

Moin - You Never End

Big|Brave - A Chaos of Flowers

Coded Marking - s/t (hot damn, this one's a belter- Krautrock infused post-punk!)

Broadcast - Distant Call / Spell Blanket

LL Cool J - the Force (enjoyed this one too! Can and Gary Numan samples! Q-Tip production!)

Universal Order of Armageddon - s/t

Majesty Crush - Butterflies Don't Go Away

Beak> - >>>>

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To (OOOOF. A+)

USA Nails - Feel Worse

Cheekface - It's Sorted

Ike Yard - 1982

Dean McPhee- Astral Gold

Burial - Dreamfear/ Boy Sent From Above


Some other stuff I enjoyed this year:

Reading both 'Sellout' by Dan Ozzi and 'Our Band Could Be Your Life' by Michael Azerrad and discovering a whole treasure trove of stuff I'd missed from over the years.

The continuted decline of Man City

Aston Villa beating Bayern Munich 1-0 the day before I went on holiday (albeit now Villa on a continued decline lol)

Meeting snooker legend Steve Davis in Leeds and talking to him about Basic Channel

Josh Pugh videos

Getting a Nathan Fake remix, and realising that the front cover to his debut album was a photo of a village green just down the road from my parents, that I duly went to visit.

Finally seeing GY!BE live

That boybands documentary on the BBC

Pictureville being back open in Bradford, and seeing a restored Terminator 1 as the first film back

The Audi song by Satelliti
