go listen to Hidden in full a few times.

I suppose Ipod people about these parts must be right & the vast majority of the polls & many six music dj's must be wrong....

Daft. Who'd have thought people liked different music, eh? Music I don't like, I find boring, because I don't like it. Remarkable break through. The opinions of other people mean nothing in that stance, otherwise it can be argued that whatever this years Christmas number one will be (probably X Factor guff) is the best song on the planet because so many people bought it. Which would be ludicrous, because it's already nailed on to be shit.

Actually the acts of music criticism and buying a record are quite different. I don't believe anyone when they say that their own taste or opinions are free from the influence of other people's opinion. Morley gets on my tits sometimes, but I think the opinions of "learned" music critics are frequently enlightening and music needs picked apart to a degree.

Are you sure? I think it was this year.

I thought it came out either in 2008 or 2009. It came out not long after Tyler, The Creators lp and the Odd Future mixtape. Earl is now about 18 (I think) and he raps about being a 16 year old in it.

Not that I had any idea who they were in 2008, I've only become a fan this year through Tam O'Shantie, via Giles Walker. Could be totally wrong but I was sure it was older than 2010...

Doesn't really matter though. Good album.

I've been listening to a lot of albums from 2010 over the last couple of weeks by trawling end of year lists and checking out anything that sounds interesting. Thanks Spotify!

Aloe Blacc's 'Good Things' is now one of my favourites. Holy shit, I sat on the bus to work listening to this beautiful album and for the first time in a long time I teared up at a song called 'Mama Hold My Hand'. I don't know if I can do the album justice by talking about it here. Definitely a suprise of the year for me. BBC - Music - Review of Aloe Blacc - Good Things
