But all this talk of evolving into a race of webbed-limbed freaks is totally off the subject at hand, which is January’s finest long-play releases...»
Well, that was the month that was. The sun shined, some people smiled and even more people released fantastic records. In fact, overall, it was a genuinely good month for music.»
