Last Friday was International Day of Happiness. In case you missed it while you were doing your best to stay ahead in the nasty, brutish, but never quite short enough rat race I've put together...

'The new music playlist for week 11 - another week of free downloads, new releases and album previews, from debutants and old hands alike.'

The new music playlist seems to get better each week. Can this trend continue indefinitely? I'll be a quivering wreck by the end of the year if it does...

I was tempted to call this playlist 'The Arkhive', making use of a clever pun based on it consisting of two tracks from each of my favourite 25 albums of the year, but sense prevailed....

'The Musical Advent Calendar: like a regular advent calendar, only more music-based, more mysterious, and way more fun.'

This is not one of those lists like you see everywhere else at this time of year (though there may yet still be an RRP round-up of the year's finest). It's more of a ramble,...
