With the new issue onsale, Top 50 of the year inside and all, plus the whole Uncut Music Award business, it occurs to me I should hunker down and prepare a Wild Mercury Sound 2010 chart.
Not sure how many I’ll stretch to this year – 75 or so, I reckon – but hopefully I’ll start rolling that out next week. In the meantime, a very 2011-heavy playlist for you to pore over…
