It’s got lines about “wandering through the pastures, looking back at our disasters,” or at least we think that's what is sung. From it comes Playing In Your Mind a song that manages to capture the more tender feathery moments of Blur’s output alongside the mystic swirls of the Flaming Lips this is no bad thing. Inhale The Universe EP from Isle of Wight psychedelic folk types Plastic Mermaids is the follow up to their debut Drømtorp. Normal posting will resume sometime around the 9th of February (edit - we'll be coming back a bit earlier on the 7th). We'll still be posting on Twitter ( here) though. This is our last post on Breaking More Waves for a week whilst we take a short break. Will any of those make it through to December? Time will tell. So there you have it, our Albums of 2015 list (work in progress). Also The Staves and The Shires records are advance copies from their respective labels, they're not due for public consumption for a few more weeks.

Full disclosure: Charli’s album isn’t released in the UK yet but we imported it from the U.S via Amazon where it’s already out. As you can see we’ve listened to Charli XCX’s Sucker a lot. So what does it look like after nearly one month? The graph above shows the results. We’ll be doing something similar at the end of 2015, but quite clearly our end of year list is an ongoing project. Yes, we were sad and geeky enough to record our listening history over 365 days, with all the complications that brings multiple listens to one CD on a car journey and forgetting how many times we played it, part plays of albums etc.
The idea was simple - our favourite must be the one we had played the most. The positions of each album was simply but carefully calculated based on the number of times we’d played the album that year, the results being modified to account for the number of months since the album first reached our ears.

However, our end of year list wasn’t just one short rushed blog post decided on the spur of the moment but a reasonably weighty series of posts ( see here). As Bob suggests, charts are very British thing, ‘fuel for a nation obsessed with train numbers and cricket statistics’.
It’s what Bob Stanley in his epic tome The History of Modern Pop would describe as ‘competition, excitement in league table form, pop music as a sport’. Towards the end of 2014, like every blog / website / music fan that likes to make sense of the musical year and document things for future reference, we published our end of year album list.
