  1. @_richardking always through Spiritualized were terrible, but funnily enough saw an incredible J Spaceman noise guitar set this year
  2. @_richardking Fantastic. Like the curry restaurants on London's Brick Lane which say "silver award, 1999"
  3. @_richardking @geetadayal try telling that to Kirsty Young on Desert Island Discs
  4. @_richardking @geetadayal I hate that effete thing where someone says "I can't POSSIBLY rate one album above another. They're all great"
  5. @_richardking @geetadayal main problem of lists is that they're TOO democratic; albums win 'cause they're lots of people's second choices
  6. @_richardking @geetadayal therefore, although top 50s of the year are wholly imperfect tools, they are nonetheless extremely useful
  7. @_richardking @geetadayal although lists have an element of arbitrariness, I wouldn't say that votes can't be summated
  8. @_richardking @geetadayal end of decades are crazy, but any journo should be able to name 10 records worth checking in a year.
  9. Twitter becomes unreadable on X-Factor nights, like a pub filled with meaningless chatter.
  10. @mapsadaisical I was disappointed 'check' didn't make it in. Or 'hermeneutic' or 'hermetic', possibly the twos journo words I use most
  11. well, that's killed 5 seconds.
  12. I just generated my #TweetCloud out of 3 months of my tweets. Top three words: album, music, listening - http://w33.us/13cw
  13. (album of the decade, sorry)
  14. Typically contradictory choice of OMM's top album of the year – if The Streets, why not the far superior Dizzee Rascal?
  15. He's right you know. Time to buy some postcards.
  16. Really? We must all do this RT @grahamwalmsley If you send any unstamped envelope marked "British Heritage, FREEPOST", it costs the BNP 40p.
  17. @earslend pleasure, glad you dig Henke's music!
  18. @alistaircrosbie Aha, I didn't know it didn't happen. Another layer of Cocteau Twins ignorance I wasn't aware of.
  19. Hadn't realised the Cocteau Twins had split up, nor that they had reformed, nor that Liz Fraser was not involved. This, I feel, is right.
  20. ... as mentioned in my Edan review in The Wire 310
