Albums of the Year 2010 (My Top 5)
 5. Tourist History (Two Door Cinema Club) A band I discovered back in 2009 with single ‘Something Good Can Work’ is Northern Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club.

Best Belgian Albums of 2010 (My Top 5)
5. Grandchildren of the Revolution (Broken Glass Heroes) I’ve told the story behind this band before. The collaboration between Millionaire frontman Tim Vanhamel and Pascal Deweze could be seen as a hole in the market. Broken Glass Heroes brings sixties pop in 2010. Who doesn’t want to hear new tunes that sound like The Beach Boys and The Beatles? 4. Free Blank Shots (Wallace...

Talent Spotting: Egyptian Hip Hop
Genre: Electronic Country: U.K. No, I didn’t discover some new hip hop genre. Egyptian Hip Hop is the band name of some Manchester based electronic artists. Their dirty dance punk sound reminds me a lot of ‘Klaxons’ and ‘Late of the Pier’. Not a coincidence, as Sam Eastgate of LOTP has been helping them out with their early tracks.
