Review 2003

The votes are all and counted!

If you voted for your favourite five tunes of 2003, then you can see the results here.

 


I don't have one of your CD's! Where can I get one from?

Ask me nicely and I'll send you one. Just drop me a line using my eMail address shown on the right. Some people (who I know will bother to listen to it) I've automatically given one to. Those that I haven't automatically given one to are those that I've given copies to in the past, and yet they later tell me that they didn't listen to it. Well there's no bloody point in me giving you a copy is there? So don't bother asking for one this year if that was you...

So what's the song at the end of the CD?

It's by Badly Drawn Boy, and is called "Donna and Blitzen". It's a Christmas-esque tune (mainly due to the sleighbells), and as was used in the film 'About a Boy'. I just think it has connotations suggesting a neat ending, wrapping things up, and gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. Oh you work it out... ok!

Do I have to vote for just the songs on the CD?

Nope... as per every year, you can vote for any song that was around this year. Actually, you don't even have to vote. Just as long as you enjoyed the CD. Be nice if you did bother to vote though.

It's very depressing with all those news clips!

Just goes to show what a wicked world we live in, eh? So be nice to people - especially at this merry time of year - smile, do a good deed for your elderly neighbour (you could even become a Danny Wallace joinee), or perhaps tip your paperboy and dustman for a change.

When do you compile all the votes?

Early in the the new year .. and during January 2004, I'll put up a webpage (similar to the one from last year) with the votes from all the times that I've done this (Going back to 1997!)

There was a song on the CD where you didn't say what it was, or who it was by!
