And so ends a year marked by my little weekly mixtapes. A year marked by the death of the “King of Pop” and hopefully the death of Oasis; the return of Blur to the stage and the return of the Manics to North America; the rise of Susan Boyle and the eventual incarceration of Phil Spector. The last weekly mix for this year will be for New Year’s Eve – last year’s mix can be found here. We’ll also see if I can manage a best of the decade post before the new year.
CONDEMNED TO ROCK 'N ROLL 
Wow – thanks for such brilliant music, and so much of it.
All the very best for 2010 and I for one will be back for more!
Much, much appreciation.
