Brian’s Mixtape #45: Brian’s Album Round-up 2010

Brian’s Mixtape #45: Brian’s Album Round-up 2010

It’s hardly news to FFS’s regular readers that Brian’s a pretty inconsistent character.  He flits about, willy-nilly, with little concern for the wellbeing of his mixtape devotees.  You might be relieved to hear that he’s turning over a new Horse Chestnut leaf in 2011, but that relief might be short-lived when you realise he’s...

Blog: Helen’s Album Round-up 2010

Brian’s Mixtape #44: Then & Now

FFS turned two last month, and while we don’t like to make a fuss, it’s made us a tad reflective. Especially Brian, who’s a sentimental sort of owl. He has been remembering all the beautiful music he’s listened to over the past couple of years and has concluded that it has made his life...
