Spring forward, look back

It’s officially the beginning of Spring and the clocks are going forward. Losing an hour of your life to the ether might seem like a bad thing, but when you consider how that time might have been spent - flicking through Freeview while eating crisps, probably - it isn’t such a loss.

To celebrate the end of March and the start of lighter days we are announcing our...


...wait for it...

TOP SEVEN ALBUMS OF JANUARY - APRIL (ALSO KNOWN AS WINTER) 2008

Hurrah!

1. Hot Chip - Made In The Dark
2. Hercules and Love Affair - Hercules and Love Affair
3. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
4. Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
5. Laura Marling - Alas, I Cannot Swim
6. Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
7. Girl Talk - Night Ripper

There are probably some others too to be honest (like The Whip, for example - ‘last minute Ed.’). Nevertheless, all the albums on this list (with the possible exception of number seven) are well worth some of your pounds. If you can’t be bothered with ‘artists’ and ‘albums’ any more, the best compilation of 2008 so far is Kitsuné 5.

And that’s your lot.
