Hardformat

Here’s hoping you had a lovely Christmas and New Year and that 2009 is a happy and fruitful one for you all.

Hard Format is 20 months old – we’ve published 98 album posts and 40 news posts to date and hope to bring you many more. We’re thinking of expanding the site a bit in the coming year and we’d love to hear from you if you have any ideas or contributions you want to make – email us. We also love to receive comments on the posts, so please don’t hesitate to do that if you’re so inclined.

Justin’s working on his end of year list of favourite music, my own one runs to two posts. It might even be three if I get round to writing about all the fine things I’d missed and am now catching up on via other people’s end of year lists. Here they are, comments always welcome!

• Looking back at 2008. Part The First, being recordings released this year
• Looking back at 2008, Part The Second, being music released before the year in question, but favoured these past 12 months
