Half-Time: Music Mule’s First XI – Albums of 2010 (so far)
Have you ever tried to write a top 10 list? Don’t, it’s a nightmare! Our first problem is that 10 isn’t that many! Secondly there are technicalities. Do we include albums featured in last year’s list (Darwin Deez, Local Natives, etc) that have only been “officially” released this year? Then there’s the danger of getting carried away with what you’re loving NOW and forgetting how much you adored albums earlier in the year. Right, enough moaning, as it’s a World Cup year we’re having a starting eleven anyway! // more

You Massive Radar – Bands of 2010 part 1
Here’s who’s got us excited about 2010. We’ve tried to leave off most of the BBC esque acts as you already know about them right? There may be a couple of crossovers though. And no we’re not going to use the term ‘ones to watch’ anywhere. Except there obviously. Let us know anyone we’ve missed as inevitably there will be a lot. Part 2 to follow soon. Download the whole mixtape at the bottom. // more

Music Mule’s Gigs of 2009
2009 has whizzed by in a blur of fantastic gigs. Here’s a little list of some of our favourites with links to words, pictures and if you’re lucky, videos of some truly great shows from our home city of London and sometimes further afield. As with our efforts at ordering albums and songs of the year it’s been a challenge to remember and quantify the enjoyment we’ve benefited from this year but we’ve given it a shot. // more

Music Mule’s Songs of 2009
Ok so here’s our favourite tracks that didn’t feature on our albums of 2009, with the small exception of numbers 1 and 2! These get a pass and here’s our warped logic – it was perhaps the unbelievably high benchmark that these two tracks set that meant we were a little disappointed with the rest of their respective records, meaning they appeared a little further down our album list than we would have expected/liked. They are absolutely the best two tracks of the year and deserve SHOUTING about! // more
