Some of them have done the same. Some even put together two or three CDs (but they\u2019ve all fallen by the wayside). Since 2001 I\u2019ve kept it to one, 80 minute, single disc (though it was previously a 90, 100 or, once even a 110 minute cassette). The first eighteen of them are above. That means leaving loads of favourite out. I listen to a lot of new music and average around forty gigs a year, not counting the acts I see at the Green Man festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year I would have liked to include songs by Lambchop, Big Thief and The National (who I\u2019m seeing on Tuesday. There was one track I loved on each of their albums but all were over six minutes and that\u2019s the upper cut-off limit \u2013 we\u2019re already down to 19 songs this year due to the number of five minute plus tracks. I tried to get it up to twenty by including a short Beck track and a Leonard Cohen poem but the result felt too bitty. There was a time when I made a part two CD, just for the car. The opening track on the surprisingly good \u2018Who\u2019 album, \u2018Music Will Fade\u2019 could well have made the cut, but the album only came out on Friday, when I\u2019d started burning discs. This year\u2019s CD2 might also include Sleaford Mods, Wilco, Eels, Billie Eilish, Beck, Brittany Howard, Richard Dawson, Faye Webster, Julia Jacklin, Lloyd Cole, The Hold Steady, Sturgill Simpson, FKA Twigs, Solange, Bill Callahan, Bonnie \u2018Prince\u2019 Billy, Black Midi, Michael Chapman, Peter Bruntnell and Ezra Furman. For the 2019 CD&#8217;s sleevenotes, tune in for daily entries from Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year since 1989 we\u2019ve sent our more musical friends a best of year CD or cassette featuring our favourite music released that year.
