Merry Christmas

I'm going to take a slight break from this blog for a bit now, partly because I've got a lot of other things to do at the moment, and partly because experience has taught me that updating blogs over Christmas week is a Total Bloody Waste Of Time As Nobody Reads The New Entries. Just as you're probably not reading this now. Are you?

So let's rest for awhile, friends, and return here early in the New Year. I started this blog in August, and we're now up to Volume 10, having cut our way through over two hundred tracks already. We've still got 13 more albums, three Best Ofs and another two VHS compilations to cover, so there's lots up ahead of us.

If you fancy getting your Christmas party going with an old-school indie swing, the Spotify Indie Top 20 Playlist contains most of the tracks we've covered so far.

And if you want to get me a Christmas present... well, I know it's rude to talk about what you want, but tell your friends about this blog. If you've got a blog or website of your own, link back to this. If you're on social media, give it a mention. If neither applies, feel free to tell people anyway. The vast majority of any blog's traffic comes through referrals these days, so if you want me to feel a bit more motivated to keep this blog fresh, speak up if you're enjoying what I do (and huge gratitude and thanks is obviously due to the people who already have).

I hope you all have a great Christmas and Santa brings you an elusive copy of "Indie Top 20: House" down the chimney.

  5. Thanks everyone! Updates will begin again in very early January, starting with Side Two and "Triangle", when you'll get a chance to see things from my angle, as Barry Manilow once said.

  6. I've been a silent reader, and enjoying the blog a lot. You've just arrived at the era where I'm starting to recognise all the bands featured ;)
