I can’t believe it’s that time of the year already. What the hell happened to 2009?!! And this time, not only are we reflecting on the last twelve months but have the added weight of also looking back on the last ten years! The decade that was the “noughties” (Any idea what we’re gonna be calling the next decade by the way?). As is customary at this time of year, I’d like to share some of my highlights in music and film and always look forward to getting yours in reply. After all, if you can’t spread a little happiness at Christmas then there’s no hope for you. So first up, here’s my Top Ten albums of 2009. What’s yours?

1. Florence & The Machine ‘Lungs’

2. Fever Ray ‘Fever Ray’

3. Bat For Lashes ‘Two Suns’

4. The Xx ‘The Xx’

5. Moderat ‘Moderat’
