I never get why magazines always publish end of year lists in December, thus missing out a whole month of album releases.
Can I come back in January?

Yeah fair point, but that month's releases are usually best of's, greatest hits or Christmas albums.

December is usually always a quiet month for new album releases anyway, most artists usually wait until January rather than release an album in December.

I will post a list later when I get home from work.

Forgot that track, and teh Django Django album...was that out this year or late last year?

Oh that Andrew Bird album is on my list too, that's gotten a fair few spins lately.

I'm still going to wait until January, partly because reading all the end of year lists tends to bring albums to my attention, which I otherwise would have overlooked. Pitchfork and the Guardian's are usually good for that.

Too early.

Jeff/Gonzo/ Myself will start the thread at the beginning of December. Same as every year.
