Great to see Paul Rees picking the Avett Brothers - shame their 2009 album is nowhere near as good (and completely different) from the rest of their work. One of the best bands I've ever seen live.
Its a shame Good Old War have passed under the radar - a group to keep a close eye on in 2010 methinks.

Hey, Guys, super magazine. Except for one thing.
Why, o why, do you studiously avoid Georgie Fame? He is surely in the Pantheon, like Townshend, Marriott, Lennon and McCartney, yet you NEVER even mention the guy, much less give him an article. Surely, you can do better. FAME RULES
