The Scottish BAMS Albums Of The Year 2010

Back in November I was ask to take part in Peenko‘s annual Scottish Bloggers and Music Sites  (Scottish BAMS…..and if you’re Scottish you’ll get the double entendre there) rundown.  Because I’m Scottish I qualified for such an honour and it’s my pleasure to announce that after much tallying and I’m sure many a drink, Lloyd (Peenko) has compiled this year’s top albums as voted on by other Scottish blog and site owners.

The winner is none other than my own Chillwave/Hardcore (Chillcore) band Horse Moustache.  I did not see that one coming, at all, especially since we only finished it last week and I only let my cat and my Nana hear it, but hey, good things come to those who wave.  Huge thanks to Lloyd for putting it all together as well as all of the other bloggers and site owners for taking part (links are below), and to Struan Teague for designing that there logo up there.
