Wild Mercury Sound’s 2009 Top 100

A few bits and pieces to mop up today, beginning with one last thankyou to everyone who has posted on the end of year blogs – or, come to that, who's commented on any of the things I’ve written in the past 12 months.

Kurt Vile and Wolf People: Club Uncut, London The Lexington, December 15, 2009

The 36th Uncut Playlist Of 2009

Another week, and I really can’t believe that we played the Robbie Williams all the way through. Not the only sub-par album in this list, to be honest; you might notice slightly desperate recourse to Chris Bell at one point.

The 35th Uncut Playlist Of 2009

Two things from the weekend. First, I finally dipped into the Beatles remasters, after several weeks of shrugging, mild curiosity and morbid suspicion of overhype.

The 32nd Uncut Playlist Of 2009

Some interesting responses to the free psych CD blog that I posted yesterday; thanks for those, and keep your thoughts coming.
