LIST 04 - 06/03/09

As the title implies, everything on here hails from 2006.

Reason being? Well, 2006 was when I was working on the short-lived national daily newspaper The Sportsman, and out of necessity the hours were a little more exotic than your usual daily 9 to 5.

As such, many were the evenings that I'd not get back home until around 11pm, and dive straight onto the digital telly to catch MTV2's late-lamented 120 Minutes, or something on Huw Stephens' show, or 6Music, or similar, whilst still winding down from another day at the typeface.

The upshot is that whilst my pursuit and absorption of interesting music has never ever really let up, during 2006 it was probably as intense as it had been for many years previously.

These are some of my highlights from 100s of potential candidates during that year.
