Reasons to be cheerful – New Year Special

Today might be tough for some people – not for me, I’m actually looking forward to 2010 and even getting back to work, so I’m up early at at them! I have my revolution ideas and I have Nick Bates’ Monday poster near my desk.

Most of all though – I have tons of good stuff to look forward to – not least of which is some marvellous music due to drop in 2010 – here are some of the albums I am really looking forward to.

• Heligoland – Massive Attack ( Feb 8th)
• One Life Stand – Hot Chip (Feb 8th)
• Computers and Blues – The Streets (Feb 23rd)
• Here Lies Love – David Byrne and Fatboy Slim (Feb 23rd)
• Head First – Goldfrapp (March 23rd)
• The Colossus – RJD2 (January 19th)
• The Conqueror – Patrick Wolf (Date tbc)
• Untitled – Portishead (Date tbc)
• The Golden Archipelago – Shearwater (Feb 23rd)
• Leave your Sleep – Natalie Merchant (Mar 2nd)
• Untitled – Interpol (Date tbc)

I’ll be posting some more reasons to be cheerful – maybe to brighten up your Monday mornings…
