2015

So another year is almost over. And to celebrate a frenetic year on the "You can't make a soufflé..." blog (next year I promise), I've pulled together the music that has given me the greatest pleasure in 2015.

The list is in no particular order. There's something old (Andrew WK, The Saints), something new (New Order, Django Django), something borrowed (Seinabo Sey, from the always-excellent Daddy or Chips' 2015 selection) and something blue (Tom Waits, Randy Newman).

The whole list could have been made up from Sufjan Stevens' Carrie and Lowell, which is a really lovely album, but I've limited myself to just two tracks, as well as two from Father John Misty and Public Sevice Broadcasting, another two highlights. And there's David Bowie, doing what only David Bowie does.

The list is on Spotify. Alternatively, you can click on each track to see or hear it through YouTube.
