Aloof Gatekeeper's Festive 50

[The aloof gatekeeper]

Hmm? What's that? You were wondering what the finest 50 tunes released this year were? Oh, well, allow me to help with my Festive 50. Sadly, no joy for fans of The Raveonettes, Black Box Revelation, Me, FOE, The Ting Tings, LadyHawke, Bleeding Knees Club or Jesca Hoop; they just missed out. Getting lucky, however, were:

Blimey, this thread, it's not very participative is it?

His thread, i suppose...would have preferred a list myself. Maybe check back in a week or so?

Listen, watch, learn, Rapper.

Meant to say there's a Spotify link to the list, too: 2012 Festive 50 by Gareth8 on Spotify

I'll check the Spotify link. Happy to see some Shrag.

I can see neither the clips - blocked by Websense here at work - nor the Spotify list, ditto. But if Shrag are in the list I'll be checking this out when I get home.

Right, if you know how to watch videos that aren't available in the UK then you can see this. You need a proxy or something, don't you?



Alternatively, there's a video link here: http://jpopsuki.tv/video/The-Mirraz---Kizuna/8043336aa1039633a748576c1a97b6 28

I was checking out your last.fm playlist: 8, 12 and 14 are three of my favourites - excellent choices!

Cheers for these. Am enjoying your selection and a fair few that are new to me. I'm going to steal a few for my blog if that's okay.

 

[The aloof gatekeeper]

Yeah, knock yourself out, Buzzer.

Blimey! That must've been put together 5 or 6 years ago; I'm not sure I can even remember how to make a playlist. Cheers though. I think I shall have a tinker over the next few days and compile something a little more current.
Are you a user on Last.fm? Music and stats - a dream combination!

Apologies in advance for the frankly offensive levels of testosterone in this video. Top song, though.
