My Music Wishlist for 2010

I thought it was probably about time I put together a wishlist for the coming year. I have separated it into categories, tonight's being the music related vision. I don't ask for much:

1) Tim Smith gets better and Cardiacs get back to the live circuit (This is at the top, as it is my dearest wish!) I feel a sense of loss at not having seen them for so long, the bitter irony of Tim having suffered from a cardiac arrest is still not lost.

2) Strangelove reform. Every other bugger is doing it so why not them?! My life would be nearly complete - Chapterhouse are touring for the first time in ages, My Bloody Valentine have returned....surely the next step is for Patrick Duff to see sense and come backkkkkkkkkkk :)

3) Richey Manic reappears (chances of success are slim it has to be said, but he'd make a fab zombie if he were to come back "dead") He was the best one, apart from maybe Nicky Wire at a push, and they've gone Dad Rock since his disappearance!

4) Vinkafest is launched in Staunton Country Park. Aphex Twin headlines the first night and NME hail it as "the best new festival" (we all know how accurate *they* are) Eddie Izzard comperes and Gordon Ramsay hails the "vegetarian, gluten-free menu" as groundbreaking :) £50,000 is raised for my favourite charities and I receive an MBE for my contribution to music!

I can't think of anymore, I'm far too distracted with my "Top Ten Mammals" list :)
