Behind the times

As you may have noticed, the SWSL end-of-year lists are yet to materialise, fashionably late as ever. The reason is that I've still got hazy recollections of two whole festivals to form into words and commit to blog, so you're looking at January, to be honest - by which time I should hopefully have digested more of the albums for which I've crossed palms with silver this year, so I'll have a better idea of what really merits a place in the Top 10.

In the meantime, being out of reach of a computer from tomorrow until Boxing Day at least, I'll direct you to the lists taking shape/already up on Sweeping The Nation, Sick Mouthy and The Auditorium (to name but three blogs) and wish you a merry Christmas.
