@alanconnor Yes, I'd like to hear something that leaves the guests picking their jaws and ears off the floor. I need a non-smug New Year.

#10yearsago I was back from Houston for a month, working at Chello in Amsterdam, and celebrating new year at @twisty's mum's in France.

Snow Patrol at number 1?! I take back my contrition. What idiots voted for this? We're doomed as a civilization.

That was a bit snooty. There are a few songs there I haven't heard (including most of 'Crazy') but there is some good music occasionally.

At a friend's for dinner, realising how few of C4's best music of the decade I've even heard. Thankfully. I'm doing something right.

Ignore me... played a song, the count on my "Last 12 months" chart updated. Live. Nice. Should have tried first.

Anyone know how to tell exactly what period my Last.fm "Last 12 months" charts cover? Are they "live"? When do they update?

@danhon I certainly rolled my eyes. Slightly. Behind my goggles. While peoples' backs were turned.

A poor final swim of 2009: the lane divider was out being cleaned, so veritable lane chaos ensued! Pure anarchy! Carnage! Mildly vexing.

@plasticbagUK Haven't you heard? After people fetishising notebooks and newspapers, weblogs are the next retro media to be fashionable!

@plasticbagUK You should get one of those weblog things Tom - I hear they're going to be huge in the next decade! :)
