Hi there! I can't believe 6 tumultuous months have past and I haven't posted a single blog entry in that time. I apologise, but yet again, life takes the better of me. My new year's resolution - to concentrate more on the blog! So much has happened - Libya, Kim Jong-il's death - these past six months and I wished I had the time to make a comment here rather than ranting to my long-suffering partner and family. Hehe. Anyway, as is customary, here are some songs from around the world that have pleased my ears these past six months. I'll be back with my top 8 (I couldn't narrow it down to 5 this time) for 2011 later.
