Well it's been a bit of a draught in regards to movies and shows however music wise it's been HUGE.
The hype is building for the new Coldplay disc and you can still download their new single "Violet Hill" for free at http://www.coldplay.com
Gnarls Barkley, Santogold, Laura Marling, Martha Wainwright, Tricky and The Roots are leading the pack with hot new releases and tracks that would definitely burn up the dance floor.
The big new hype for the year MGMT are really rocking it with their debut album featuring great tracks like "Kids" & "Time to Pretend". The Ting Tings are also the ultimate cool indie band right night with hits like "Great DJ" even being played on commercial radio. Their hit "It's Not My Name" went straight to number one in the UK betting that silly Umbrella bitch - ella ella.
Nine Inch Nails have decided to drop another album, this time of free of charge courtesy of their website and CSS & the Dandy Warhol's are also allowing fans to download their latest singles for nix of their websites.
The Offspring, Alanis Morrisette and Shihad are also making come backs in the coming months.
Now I was extremely unlucky enough to be in a taxi for one hour hour this last Tuesday morning and I had the unlucky fortune of hearing the Kyle and Jackie Ho show. Well with three songs in the hour and more ad's you can poke a stick at, I was just so happy to have the option of a radio dial on my work and home stereo. Their show is nothing more than a cross promotion between their failing attempt to host BB and promote nearly anything they can get their hands on.
The over produced and lack of content hour was a real eye opener, if this is what most Sydney siders are listening to, I am beginning to feel like an outcast or at least someone who has half a brain.
So if you are feeling like you need some zone out time tune into 2Gay Fm 104.1 Yesterday's worst music between 6-9am.
I know I'll be sticking to Robbie, Marieke and the Doctor on the J's at least they play (shock, horror) two songs in a row and ask more intelligent questions that a chimp.
Finally in my music wrap up a music lover's must some lists:
