With the sun shining I’ll be damned if I’m going to spend much of today in front of a computer screen. We’ll recap on ten records at random that deserve a place in your collection. There may be ten superior records out so far this year but that’s for others to write about.
I’ve been writing about these bands over the past few weeks so you can check the blog archive if you would like to read whatever nonsense I managed to commit to binary. The links provided will take you to where you can make a purchase. If you would like to support new music, here’s a place to start. This is 10 Albums You Should Buy From Scottish Indie Artists.

Honourable mentions for Boards of Canada, and Camera Obscura who will have the music press cover them comprehensively anyway. More than likely I’ll do a piece on Boards of Canada soon because their last album is one of my favourites. If you haven’t heard it, do go check it out.
I would add graveyard tapes to your list. worth checking out.
