Is this music?
Yet another unforeseen benefit of brain surgery: I've been able to spend more time than usual over the last 12 months with my CD collection. Since 2006 has been very good indeed for new music, I'd like to thank my tumour for its impeccable timing. Confident that you'll all be just as appalled as I am by the NME's frankly wrong annual poll, I present the sounds that have rocked my world this year: Singles

- You Made Me Like It - 1990s
- Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
- Ali In The Jungle - The Hours
- Gold Lion - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
- Standing In The Way Of Control - The Gossip
- Operated On EP - Union Of Knives

That Rapture single has the greatest title ever - I want to ask for it in HMV just for the joy of saying it out loud.
Is the Tilly & The Wall album worth getting, then? I wasn't sure how good they'd be without the visual effect of the tap-dancing drummer.

I was prepared to dislike it because I thought the whole tap dancing thing was a gimmick, but it actually works: they sound like a slightly folkier Arcade Fire. Download Sing Songs Aloud for a taster of the album.
The Rapture were guaranteed a place on my list because this whole "New Rave" malarky sounds to me like a not-as-good rehash of their first album. Hot Chip were ok but the rest of that scene was bobbins.

Never heard one of 'em, but then I suspect I'm hardly target market.

1990s? The Hours? Union of Knives? Tilly and the Wall?
Just who, precisely, are these so-called "people"? They've never passed my finely-honed radar, and I still keep an eye on the hit parade.

It's not like I'm being wilfully obscurantist or anything - one of those singles spent nine weeks at the toppermost of the charts. Get downloading, you know you want to...
