*still reading so should probably reserve judgement
Presuming one reader for a moment.. Frankly can't be bothered to find / post links to any of this stuff, but there's a thing called Google which can probably help out with further details.
And while I'm regurgitating media consumption, why not? New musical discoveries I've rather loved this year:
Florence & The Machine - Lungs (sad that it'll rightly become very popular but become horribly overexposed)
Mumford & Sons - Cry No More
The XX - XX
Alberta Cross - Broken Side Of Time
Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
Jamie T - Kings & Queens
Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions
Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3
Way too many films to regale, but my last seen is the best for a long time and up there with anything I've seen all year. Can't gush enough about Swedish film, the English title translation of which is, Let The Right One In.
