The lovely Miss Marina And The Diamonds just announced on Twitter that the first official single from her upcoming album will be called "Prima Donna," due out on April 16. *Checks watch.* Is it April yet? No? Okay. Let's pass the time then...

Compiling these "Best of" posts is the most strenuous thing about the "blog game". So basically, since I'm sick of looking at this, just reference our lists to get a general feel for how we vibed out 2011.

We thought it would be a rather fitting end to the year to wax lyrical once more about the band we tipped to do well in 2011. Yup, it's Sarah, Hamish and George, known collectively as The Good Natured! We've followed them throughout the year, (and well before to be honest) with regular updates and have been delighted to see them really develop into something very special indeed. Before a recent headline show in Manchester we caught up with Sarah and the boys to reflect on just how 2011 has panned out for them. They've had quite a [...]
