This week’s editorial is running a little late as I’m in the middle of moving house. Still, it would have been worse last week when Scotland was hit with hurricane strength winds.
Not too many albums coming out this week, it seems. Attention must be on the race for the Christmas number one spot on the singles chart, which seems to be all important. I’m guessing that whoever won The X Factor last night will be bringing one out – but I would love to see it topped by The Wombles. Now that would be funny.
As always, stick to glasswerk.co.uk for all your music news and reviews.
