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...

Following last week’s shameful booze-fuelled fiasco, Brian’s plunged like a lead balloon into a pit of depression so deep and wide that it’s been necessary to rescue him from his slum of a nest and reinstall him (temporarily, we hope) in a cosy shoebox at FFS HQ.  This way we can keep an eye...
