Different Strokes

BBC News | MUSIC | Strokes hit critics’ top spots

Hmm… I only really half care about such things, but I have to say that the stuff that has really impressed me has been from They Might Be Giants, Bis, Daft Punk, The Avalanches and Fantastic Plastic Machine.

Given that out of those, only two were albums in mass circulation this year, I’ll just have to hope that by next year one of the others will have been recognised for it’s greatness, if it matters… in some ways popular music just scares me, cos you get too many people who just listen to it thanks to it’s popularity.
