The Saint Etienne track Teenage Winter - a observation that we are leaving our best years far behind - is simply one of the most wonderful songs I know. By the time you get to the line about birthday cards I'm blubbing like a big idiot. Lovely.

But (and I know I'm a day late) I can report most excellent sledging conditions outside ON THE BIG HILL.

i find 'milkbottle symphony' embarrassing. it really is dreadful. and that talk-over at the beginning of 'teenage winter' - especially live - is crippling. Soz S'duckie :o)
give me 'burnt-out car' every time.

suprised that your three runners-up made it into the top six - all notably mediochre offerings from outfits from whom we'd expect better. You wouldn't simply be name-checking now Geez would you? What happened to go-kart mozart?

still, i should keep quiet. i'm not up with the hit parade like you crazy young things with your music and drugs and whathaveyou.

Might I offer Imogen Heap's sublime "Speak for Yourself." Undoubtably my pick for album of the year. The aural landscapes created by her octave jumping vocals and flawless production by her husband (Guy Sigsworth) are so layered that even after my 300th or so listen I still catch something new when I put it on. Turn it up loud and put on a set of really good headphones for a truly transcendent experience.

I forgot to add "And I'll fight anyone that says otherwise" to my comment above.

Always good to see Gorillaz riding high, but even more pleased to see you enjoying the Royksopp album. A masterpiece, and one that took me completely by surprise.

But why that Freeloaders track? It's a terrible remake of the Daft Punk chap Thomas Bangalter's song. Just not as good.

Still, musn't grumble. The rest make up for that!
