Roll up, roll up

Not only is it nearly the end of the year, but it's nearly the end of the decade too. Perfect for a list or seven, so coming up over the next few weeks will be some top tens, from me, and maybe some friends/special guests too... watch this space (i know the world won't be short of lists over the next month or so, but hey this is a list based blog and i guarantee any posted here will be better than anything in, say, the OMM).

In the meantime, i can't find any footage of Bettye Swann to post (no matter how many times i look on youtube), but if you fancy a piece of genius heartbreak soul, check out her song '(My Heart is) Closed for the Season'
