Sinister: albums of the year

[Tjonrr at xxx.com]

1. Belle And Sebastian
2. Hefner
3. The Delgados
4. Arab Strap
 
plenty of other great stuff this year but these ones mattered a lot. still
hoping for a late contender in the new Bitter Springs album, but havent heard
it yet.
The Michael Head/Strands LP is very folky in a medeivael sort of way, with
very olde world lyrics. takes a bit of getting used to but is quite special
anyway. not as good as some of his older stuff, according to certain people
who are just trying to show they know more than me. which they do of course,
as always.

heard TIJAMRS on John Peel last night, first impressions is that it is much
more downbeat and maudlin than the Radcliffe session version, which i thought
was quite triumphant sounding in a LLPJ sort of way, if that makes sense.
still, nice to see another NME single of the week.
