Just a quick one:

Over the festive season, John Allison of Scarygoround is running Shelley's reviews of his top 20 albums of the year. Start here.

A favourite of mine:

15: EELS - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

Here is a tip for Eels frontman "E". If you have written your ten best ever songs, people will be able to tell better if you do not release them with 23 other songs on the album! People have busy lives, and 33 songs about sadness is hard work for a mind! Eels are the best sad band, but they need to sell some excess songs to Girls Aloud.

A must for music fans everywhere.
