I forgot Forget Cassettes, 'Salt'. I'm also convinced that this is not the record I thought I might have forgotten above, so there may be more to come. Gah! I forgot Forget Cassettes, ‘Salt’.

His cover of R Kelly's 'The World's Greatest' is pretty special.

Surely Ben you should be saving the top spot for Bonny Prince Billy as usual. Hey, that Grinderman album is really good.

It amazed me on my first listen, but the Ghost Hardware 12" got far more repeated play. The vinyl cut of Untrue is apparently different to the CD in some way, so it might just be that those three tracks were culled for a 12" & seem different in isolation - but they play more like a hybrid of the direction of Untrue, and the feel of the first album. Didn't even realise Cinematic Orchestra & Battles had had albums out. I'm so out of touch... Wondered if L & Ben would be casting their vote for Untrue.

Predictably, I've barely even heard of most of yours. I'd have The Go! Team on my list, though I wasn't as overwhelmed by the new one as I was by the first one. And Radiohead are rubbish. My list: PJ Harvey - White Chalk Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta! The National - Boxer The Go! Team - Proof Of Youth Caribou - Andorra Elliott Smith - New Moon Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times Cansei de Ser Sexy - Cansei de Ser Sexy LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver Wow, I managed a whole ten. Biggest disappointment? Spooky's new album, Open. Absolutely terrible. I too have listened to much more new stuff this year. Predictably, I’ve barely even heard of most of yours. I’d have The Go!
