Right, the first month or so of this blog will mainly be about the albums I bought in 2010. There's neither rhyme nor reason to their order, it's just whatever I'm in the mood to listen to on the day. And I might well do a post dealing with my albums of the year at the end of it, but as I've only listened to several of them once and haven't yet done enough listening to them, or engaging with them, I really can't do that as yet. I have certain gut instincts as to the albums that might turn up near the top, but this'll at least be an interesting exercise in seeing how opinions change with time, which albums fade after the glory of the initial headrush is gone, and which give up dirty little secrets on repeated listens. These won't necessarily be reviews though, there's enough of those out there. They're more likely to be what occurs to me as I listen.
It might take a little longer than a month as I've bought around 70 albums this year, but alea jacta est as the Romans used to say in Asterix. What's the point in declaring your album of the year before the year's over anyway?*
* Aside from helping the record industry flog more records for the Christmas market, obviously. If it really mattered, these sort of thing would be done in January.
