The Forgotton YEars

Top Ten for 20 Ten?

Listened to Kingsmill count 'em down on Sundee and realized two things:

1 - Not a big year for albums

2 - I haven't bought any albums this year except Jonathon Boulet (2009) & Temper Trap (via T-Roy) and an old Dead Letter Chorus cd

3 - 1&2 are possibly chicken and egg

4 - I can't count
