Merry Christmas from diskant
Posted: December 24th, 2006, by Marceline SmithThings will inevitably be quieter for the next couple of weeks though, with our recent level of activity, I doubt anyone will notice much of a difference. Our annual best albums and films of the year articles are almost done and will hopefully be up sometime next week.
I’d like to take this opportunity to name and shame Findo Gask, Dot To Dot, Dananananaykroyd and Try Harder Records as the lazy/busy people who have been keeping me as the winner of my interview slackness stats. Particularly the first two who have been hoarding their interview questions since FEBRUARY! Hopefully we will see all these interviews sometime in the new year. Apologies go to Errors and 1990s who I have been failing to interview all year, mostly because both bands are doing so awesomely well.
While you wait for all this goodness here are some excellent year-end things by other sites that we love:
– The Popjustice A-Z of 2006
– No Rock’n’Roll Fun’s exhaustive round-up of the year’s happenings
– Pitchfork’s Top 100 Tracks and Top 50 Albums of 2006
Have a good Christmas and thanks for reading. Don’t forget to have some pie.

We have Blogger comments now. This may not be better but they won’t have ads or disappear after 6 weeks. I am just testing this really.
