Recorded music
Highlight was Laura Marling “Alas i Cannot Swim”.

Live music
Rachel Unthank and the Winterset at Cardiff St Davids Hall.

I also enjoyed
The Mark Rothko paintings at the Tate London, and Nicola Cooke’s Gold Medal in Beijing.

2008 was…
…the year of Barack Obama.

2009 will be…
…the year of the Yellow Moon Band, Animal Collective, more Prog, England regaining the Ashes and we find out that Banksy is Rolf Harris.
