4 years!
If you've seen me over the years then you know very well what I've done. If you're a casual viewer of this website then I imagine you're not in the slightest bit interested.
So let's leave it at that, eh?
Kyle Thompson's Internet Treehouse blog
My personal top 10 songs of 2012, as compiled from play count in iTunes.
Every year I reset my play count & start again.
#1 ♫ Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen — Simply a great pure pop song.
#3 ♫ Absolute by Scritti Politti
#5 ♫ Drop the Pilot by Joan Armatrading — rediscovered 80’s classic
#6 ♫ Village Green Preservation Society by Kate Rusby — Theme to Jam & Jerusalem!
#8 ♫ Together In Electric Dreams by Phil Oakey & Giorgio Moroder — Best song of the 80’s
#9 ♫ Kitty by Racey — Another “original” version - this time the male version of Toni Basil’s Mickey
#10 ♫ All Together Now by The Farm — Brilliant bit of 90’s indie.

I quite like them.
I was drawn by the hinges & good design
I almost look good
I hadn't heard of Persol before, turns out they've been going years. Quite happy.
