Tracks Of 2009

Hello, and welcome to the first of a few posts where I tread the well travelled 'best of' path. To follow are my favourite albums of the year, my favourite albums of the decade - and then the compulsory 'tips' for 2010 - hopefully. These are all subjective of course, one man's gravy is another man's porridge and all that.

I wasn't gonna write some bunf about each song, but I wrote that were the same "great song, had it in my head all year" - so I'll just leave you to listen

Mi Mye - In The Morning

Mi Mye, Sometree, Futuresound, Mercurys, Magnolia.... that seems to be all this blog is about now a days!! I have some hopefully big announcements to be made soon though, so don't tune out just yet

Mi Mye Picture Special

Prior to our London football trip, on Saturday Mi Mye continued ploughing our new productive furrow with an opening session of recording for our forthcoming album. And it was sounding pretty shit hot too!

No other news at the minute, re: completion / release or otherwise, but I'll try and keep this blog up to date with the latest. Meanwhile here's some photos:
