Hoorah! Good music! And from Delphic, who'd have thought. Underachievers in recent history, Acolyte is a therefore surprising must have album. Particularly having moved from Kitsuné to a major imprint, Polydor. I could have been more imaginative than posting the single, but deal with it.

Strictly speaking, this is pretty old music. But show me something good that's been written and produced in 2010. I dare you.

New Music | Ones To Watch 2010
Gone with a straight up Top SIX this year. None of this Top Ten business, it's twenty ten for christ's sake.
1. Top spot goes to your man Alex Metric, whose lack of video content astounds me:
2. Next up the man in the stupid mouse mask with a spot on video:
3. The Twelves finally broke through into our sunny climes recently with their Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. That made me a happy boy. Look out for more this year. The below is ancient but what can you do, no major label, no sexy videos.
4. Miami Horror's been doing the rounds in the back half of twenty oh nine, and for good reasons. Video's pretty pony, but the tune's a keeper.
5. These guys worked their way into our Ones To Watch basically by default. Ticking all the 'up & coming' boxes on 09, even if not in the UK, they'll be on 'da scene' this year, just you wait and see.
6. Citadels are warming up already for this year's festivals. No seriously. Boost below the fold for Jimmy Lazers on "osmosis":

New Music | Top 10 Albums 2009
Alas, dear friends, for I fear little Phoenix may have squeezed into the mainstream. And Animal Collective? Really? Maybe we're safe for another year, I don't know. Anyway bonjour and welcome to le top 10 for 2009 as dictated by NMB. No Grizzly Bear, no thanks. No Kasabian, no thanks. Just pure 2009 style quality, a vintage year that competes strongly with 2008.
- Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
- Passion Pit - Manners
- Deadmau5 - For Lack of a Better Name
- Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion
- DM Stith - Heavy Ghost
- Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms
- Sally Shapiro - My Guilty Pleasure
- St Vincent - Actor
- Au Revoir Simone - Still Night, Still Light
- The Thermals - Now We Can See
And best music related video has to (by so far it's not even really fair) go to Spike Jonze and Kanye. Congratulations?

New Music | The Twelves
Unless Go Home Productions mashed up Chris Rea's Driving Home For Christmas with the sound of literally all the choir singers in the world singing literally all of the Christmas songs ever written, this is pretty much the ultimate Christmas mix you'll hear this year. Not that it has anything to do with Christmas you understand. Now I need to stop saying Christmas.
In the style of an early 90s happy hardcore MC, this one goes out to Rose - a friend's newborn no older than 12 hours all shiny, new, and as yet unaware of the joy of Rudolf, Santa and The Twelves.

New Music | Get Well SoonWell it's different isn't it. And there are trumpets and everything. 20 points to whoever can tell me what film soundtrack this reminds me of, it's annoying me.
Oh and, it's not electro! Hurrah! Stay tuned for some Don Diablo. :(

Mean Machine - Strings for Yasmin by Tin Tin Out. So there.

For anyone who hasn't been over to videos, and although I don't want to go on about it, this really is the best album > radio edit transformation I think I have ever heard. And of course the video is super weird but still one of the best of the year.

Cancel your plans for 12th December and head to SPANKing new bar Carnivale just off brick lane in London's East One for their little launch party, involving our friends above, Citadels, and loads of other stuff. Don't ask questions just do it. We'll be there with bells on, literally, and we expect you to do the same.

New Music | Eels
If anyone mentions Lady Gaga again, I will scream very loudly and it won't be very pleasant for anyone within earshot. Okay, here's the deal: I will give a quid to anyone who picks up a guitar, writes a nice little song, records it without any synths, loops, samples, etc and releases it. Just like the good old days. Maybe there could be some actual drums in it? And maybe a bit of actual bass? And some actual rhythm guitar and some nice lyrics?
Anyway, thanks to Eels for offering something that isn't complete poo.
