Yes, it’s that time of year again already. We’ve made our way through the first four months of 2010, so this marks my first opportunity to reflect back upon the great music that we’ve all been enjoying.
As per my usual, many of these records have been reviewed on my site already, so please feel free to read what I’ve written about them. I look forward to listening to more great music over the next 8 months of 2010 and seeing whether or not these records will rise and/or fall in relation to what I listen to next.
