Here’s our favourite tunes from the past year. Had we been doing a Hogmanay Ball this year it looks like the democratically elected first-song-after-the-bells would have been Default by Django Django or Out of the Game by Rufus Wainwright. To be fair, Rufus would have ben a bit “wtf?” so I imagine we would have went for Default, followed by songs agreed by the XX and Grimes fans cutting a deal with each other…. Here is a link to the Spotify Playlist (the songs that aren’t on Spotify have ben given their own links below).
