Albums I Liked Last Year

Standard

We’re far enough into the new year now that no one cares what happened in 2013, aren’t we? A music blog isn’t a music blog without some form of list making exercise around December/January though, so you’re getting something along those lines whether you like it or not.

Hey, no one forced you to come here and look.

This won’t be a proper list, there’s no numbers or anything, it’s just a big heap of music I enjoyed last year enough to think it deserves flagged up to the five folk that will read this.
This edition will be albums, if I can put in a bit of effort there’ll be another for singles, EPs and the like.

There’s going to be lots of embeds, so I’ll stick in a break so as not to slow down the front page of the site.

Readers’ Poll 2013

Standard

vote

Just because I’m too lazy to blog much doesn’t mean I’ll miss out on the traditional annual readers’ poll. It’ll just be a bit late instead.

Same deal as previous years, but we’ll run through the formalities again anyway.

Quickie rules ®ulations type things:
Answer or skip whatever questions you want, but if a bunch of people answer one question with the same answer it’ll be pretty obvious ballot stuffing.
No ballot stuffing! If it isn’t obvious I probably won’t notice it though.
You can vote for bands, albums etc from anywhere, they don’t have to be Scottish.
Polls close at 11:59 pm on January 11th, results posted whenever I get a chance to count things after that.
This is meant to be a wee bit of fun, so don’t moan about the results when posted!
