Top 5 for 2009

I wouldn't trust them with 20p let alone how ever far I can throw them.


Hello You!

Does any fucker remember when this thing was a music blog? Seriously!
This url was some kind of music blog in 2006!
Honest! I was there!

Whatever...

Here it is, the list that in many respects should actually be a top ten, halved, bastardised and thoroughly buggered in the face with two spatulas, a tennis racket and a very pale and flaccid penis.

Quick Disclaimer: It would be silly of me to include any
Son Of Robot.
Every song released since time began is a poor man's Son Of Robot and thus none of their releases will be included in this post in order to give the other "Near do wells" a fighting chance.
It is also worth mentioning that there was a shortlist of 27 albums for me to choose from, I could've rated them all and trimmed off a top 10 quite easily.
This list is five albums that I find fun, touching, calming, aggressive and brilliant.

Oh do enjoy!.. And we're off!

Your Mum told me to tell you to pick up milk on the way home.

Now go away.


"When the credits finally, roll for this the, worst story ever, told don’t bother, sifting through the names, for yours or anyone you know. Unless they were by chance a shepherd king, a virgin birth, a resurrection, a messianic prince or some such childish thing. You can storm the edit suite or move to block its theatrical release, but I think we can safely guarantee, that there will be no revisions to the script made on behalf of a supporting cast(e)... Yes."
