glen campbell blog: LISTOMANIA

Ooh what’s Christmas and New Year without some lists? So here is mine. These lists are strictly about what I’ve seen and heard, not what s been recommended, caught a bit of, read about but what I’ve seen with my own ears

Firstly my favourite new UK shows on TV. Yes the USA provides excellent TV, a list of which would be pointless so I’ve plumped for new stuff from Blighty that I enjoyed this year.

Then the world of movies; a tough one in terms of films released this year, due to my lack of attendance at Cinema’s in 2010, so I’m doing movies I’ve watched this year which is mostly on Sky and terrestrial TV; perhaps a result of blogging ( I shall have to redress the balance next year and resume regular cinema visits) Next time around a catch up on those that I’ve yet to whack in the DVD-The Hurt Locker, A Prophet, Valhalla Rising among others.

I have been asked to, how you say, ‘spin some tunes’ this year on a number of occasions. Here’s my list of songs that have time again worked their magic on the dance floor. Some solid gold here that has got those that were seat bound upright in 2010.
