Working from home today so that the pulled muscle in my back can heal. The chairs at work just seem to reverse any healing progress it makes at night, so I’m giving it a day off. So far so good.

While I work I’m listening to a mix I made last night of my favourite 20 songs from last year. Well, sort of…I spent about 20 minutes figuring out which songs should be on there, and it might change slightly if I took more time with it, but cost/benefit and all that. I also kept it to one song per artist; otherwise Regina Spektor and Band Of Horses would’ve had multiple entries.

Here ’tis:

• amy millan . “hard hearted (ode to thoreau)”
• and you will know us by the trail of dead . “wasted state of mind”
• asobi seksu . “red sea”
• band of horses . “monsters”
• camera obscura . “razzle dazzle rose”
• cold war kids . “hospital beds”
• heartless bastards . “blue day”
• hidden cameras . “awoo”
• jeremy enigk . “damien dreams”
• ladyhawk . “war”
• mates of state . “fraud in the 80’s”
• mercers . “use for abuse”
• mogwai . “we’re no here”
• neko case . “john saw that number”
• raising the fawn . “carbon paper”
• regina spektor . “field below”
• swan lake . “all fires”
• tv on the radio . “wolf like me”
• viva voce . “we do not fuck around”
• yeah yeah yeahs . “cheated hearts”
