My 31 Favourite Songs of 2010
Because I’m sure the whole world can’t wait to hear what I think.
Why 31? It was gonna be 20 but I got carried away. Then I settled on 30 but put an extra one in accidentally.
It is mostly a mixture of miserablist indie, electropop, female fronted bands and Swedish groups, although my favourite song of the year is the most rocking (God I sound 28) song on the list. There’s also Mike Patton singing an Italian pop cover thrown in for good measure. There are a few videos scattered around as links on the song titles and if you go right to the bottom of the list there is a link to a Spotify playlist.

The Adventures of Interfero #7
I think this is seven, having said that the last one was a Christmas special it throws in all sorts of continuity issues.

The Adventures of Interfero – A Christmas Special of Sorts
This is tenuously a Christmas special of Interfero, in that it features Santa and presents. Chances are I didn’t do it at Christmas, but who cares, I can’t remember.

Spotify: Oh! What A Christmas Playlist
I am not a massive fan of Christmas as you can tell from my name change on Facebook in any form other than booze, food and time off work – which I think is what most people see it as, who really cares that it’s Jesus birthday.
Still I took the time to put together a Christmas Playlist on Spotify. Hopefully there are a few completely random things, that’s the point – I mean one of the reasons Christmas irks me is the incessant repetition of the same old songs year in year out. Who wants to listen to Last Christmas every year, unless it’s done by the Manics of course…
I think ‘I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas’ my be my new favourite song. It is unbelievably awesome. I’m the first to admit there are some probably VERY VERY tenuous links to Christmas, who knows – maybe not. Bowie and Bing is amazing, purely for the intro and you’ve not heard Walking in the Air until you’ve heard Kenny Loggins singing it.

It’s a fez.
I found this here via someone on Twitter.
I liked so much I had to borrow it.
It reminded that it is Doctor Who next week and that means more Amy Pond AND Michael ‘Wash Your hands’ Gambon. I couldn’t find the “Wash Your Hands” scene that I’m sure exists in reality and not just in the heads of me and James but this one is good anyway.
