We usually don’t hand out awards and trophies and, well, we won’t start now as we are as skint as a pisshead after a one of those “pound a shot” nights at Corp.

So, without any further ado, here’s some general blog-like nastiness. Don’t take it too seriously, though…

The “That’ll do” award for their albums released in 2010.

Interpol, Kings of Leon, Alkaline Trio, Band of Horses, Minus The Bear (songs are brilliant live, though), Stone Temple Pilots.

Villain of the year award

A four way tie between Nick Clegg A.K.A. ‘The Grinch’ (Ok, so no politics normally but we’ll allow this one! – Misky), Wyclef Jean (using charity funds for studio time and bubbly = arsehole), Jimmy Carr  and Courtney Love (still making a living out of a corpse).

Heroes of the year
