So, another year full of great music is over – and I’d like to share my personal favourites with you here. It’s a bit later than all those professional magazines, blogs and other media – but hey! I’m just running this site for fun. Anyway, I tried to find a place on the web for each song, so you could listen to those you might not know yet.

And by the way, it’s not a ranking, I just put the songs into an order that sounded good to me – like a mixtape in the good old days of cassette tapes… Enjoy it – and let me know if you like it!

Last weekend, I visited the I’ll Be Your Mirror festival in London, curated by Portishead and All Tomorrow’s Parties. Besides a number of fantastic concerts (particularly Helen Money, Thought Forms and Portishead themselves), I got the chance to see an almost two hours gig played by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, who just reunited in 2010 after a quite long break since about 2003. I must admit that this was the most amazing show I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Overwhelmingly, physically massive. Simply stunning. Brilliant. Fantastic. Amazing.

While you’re waiting for new music and other stuff from my own projects, enjoy this beautiful song and video from the fantastic young Danish singer Soffie Viemose:
