I am trying to crank this creature back into life. To get back into the swing of being inappropriately personal on media owned by a corporation who will one day use this information against me, I present this year's playlist. A hobby I've kept up for a few years, as an invaluable aid to memory. These are the songs I was listening to, in chronological order; nothing else should be assumed.

1. Giddy Stratospheres (the Long Blondes)
2. And That's Why (Kenickie)
3. Affirmation (Savage Garden)
4. Wildflower (Cee Lo Green; or Brighter Lights; or Fuck You, it's all a great album)
5. Cold War (Janelle Monae)
6. The Only Hope for Me is You (My Chemical Romance; shutupshutupshutup...)
7. In The Rain (Sol Invictus)
8. Wire to Wire (Razorlight)
9. Never Gonna Dance (Fred Astaire)
10. Heavyweight Champion of the World (Reverend and the Makers)
11. My Body is a Cage (Peter Gabriel cover; turn the volume up)
12. The Glorious Land (PJ Harvey)
13. Glass (Bat for Lashes)
14. I'm Deranged (David Bowie)
15. The Revolution will Not be Televised (Gill Scott-Heron)

Listen

Previous years:
listen to 2009

listen to 2008

I don't know what happened to 2010. And in general, the fact I can't bear listening further back than four or five tracks, says everything to me.
