the worst thing is that it's always tim's MOST FAVOURITE tracks that get shafted

heh i'm sure tim's wouldnt have been boring but generally this dreary awards season would most likely be much improved if everyone were forced to only discuss their top 20-50

probably true of every year really

Let's get 2011 out of the way. This is just what the balance of my 2011 list has been since the beginning of the year, haven't really thought about its currency now but it looks pretty sympathetic to Nov 2012 me:

Terri Walker - He Loves Me (Artful Mix)
Pyper ft Kt Forrester - Dagger To The Heart
Vybz Kartel - Lip Gloss
Tanya Stephens - Take Good Care Of My Man

yeah can you do these please :]

Haha, there's a reason I'm getting 2011 out of the way.

lol knew you'd bottle it

that finneyana reign just wont let up

Ha. Selfishly wouldn't mind a gloss on the Dillon Francis, as I didn't see many others write about moombahton (didn't catch on around here, and I think uh trap has colonised any potentially sympathetic spaces). & "One By One" for general life-affirmation.

lol xp

Don P The Panhandle King - Gone Do

Wish I could find an MP3 of this. Great track.

shoutout to brainwasher for that 1

Yeah Deej hipped me to that, it was the last thing I heard to make my list I think.

So, 2012...

Coming.

looking forward to it!

you should try to get a publication to pick up on it tim - 1) it's good enough (obviously) 2) it feels weird and wrong expecting someone to be doing something this detailed unpaid 3) it would make you finish it

^ cosign.

Yeah, feels weird sort of harassing you for it, but it's clearly a highlight of the EOY... I would pay for the zine version.

I would pay $s for just an emailed version (with e.g. youtube links for listening). But yes, obviously this is a bit weird, apologies etc.

Basically my aversion to that kind of thing is the need to organise myself. The level of organisation required at work is already almost more than I can handle.

However I have been thinking of some sort of zine idea for a while, not for this EOY but for something next year.

man richelle are still something else... you hear album upon album less transportive than these here 5 minutes

Tim do you like 'Drink and Rave'?

Nice writeup of reggae crooner Tarrus Riley
