Once again, recently, I’ve been struggling with insomnia, something that judging on some mornings on social networks that quite a few of my friends suffer from too. I go through […]
The end of November looms, so it is time once again to review 2012 in music.
So, a return to my traditional Tuesday Tens after the end of year break for rounding up 2011. My girlfriend set me a challenge for two Tuesday Tens last week, […]
During 2011 I saw an awful lot of live sets. At a rough count, around about 125 (including supports and festivals) – and I saw a few bands more than […]

Back to the TT after a few weeks off, and it's time for my usual round-up of ten tracks that have had my attention this month.
