THE RECOMMENDER 2010 PREVIEW
We are finally done dealing with 2009 and can now enjoy a look ahead to what the next twelve months has in store. As one of your essential guides on new music we are perhaps fulfilling our duty to scan the musical horizon and pluck out the highlights.
We have album news on some firmly set releases, some have definitely been discussed, some are simply rumours and some are wildly hopeful punts, but it’s always worth getting ridiculously excited right?
In our predictive preview of 2010 we will list the artist, any album name (if known) and any possible release dates (again, bear with us on the specifics). So sit back and enjoy the looser-than-loose, wildly stabbed, finger-in-the-air soothsaying and all the butterflies it creates.

So that’s it for 2009! What an outstanding year. We’ve loved your support. Looking ahead to 2010 it seems there’s many potentially brilliant albums due out, so expect lots of great coverage here.
Our blog also has many exciting, new things planned during 2010, including a revamped site, the launch of our monthly party showcases and we are looking for a new contributor from NYC (applications are still welcome into therecommenderblog@gmail.com for those interested? Obviously, only the most totally awesome need apply).
We love two things: music and our readers, so we simply wish to say thanks for joining us and from the above new albums it looks to be a very happy new year for all of us…
