Alt.Brits 2013 - Best of British Music In the Past 12months (or so)
Last year, we put together this bad boy of a playlist http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/71GOfxniSOR4iQ8B84hNSE
It seemed like a nice bit of fun, and a few folks seemed to discover some music from it, so I've started a new one for this year: http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/2yy87UxHHksB58obXdQNus

you've all gone weirdly quiet, was it something I said?

Tonnes of suggestions over on Facebook (perhaps because site sign-ups are turned off still?) http://facebook.com/drownedinsound
Is it the 'been there, done that' -ness of it?
A list based on the 2013 Recommended Album thread would probably be of more use? (that or call it Alt.Brits 2012). The XX are 'so' last year :)
:-p
