Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.01: Bjork - Vulnicura
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he will come out of this
I smell declarations of solitude
Maybe he will come out of this
Vietnam vet comes after the war
Lands in my house
This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.02: Tame Impala - Currents
Once again, as it takes a hold
I am aware I'm not in control
You see, I have a conscience and it's never fooled
But it's prone to be overruled
You wanna know what I always think I'm bind by
You never accept defeat or let it slide
But I have no voice if I don't speak my mind
My weakness is the source of all my pride, I'll tell you why

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.03: Roisin Murphy - Hairless Toys
We were glass house girls
Full of joie de vivre and verve
Built a house of glass
Out of fragments from the blast
When it's all revealed
Must be seen to be believed
Little raincoat sister
Weren't allowed to dream
Made a new reality

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.04: Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass
And our love was young
We could make the whole world will crumble
Although with one word
He could turn it all the way around

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.05: Foals - What Went Down
Through lanes and stone rows
Black granite, wind blows
Fire lake and far flame
Go now but come again
Dark clouds gather 'round
Will I run or stand my ground?
Oh, when I come to climb
Show me the mountain so far behind
Yeah, it's farther away
Its shadow gets smaller day after day

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.06: John Grant - Grey Tickles, Black Pressure
The paranoia, the uncertainty
The stupid knowing way they're grinning when they look at me
They say it's me, how do they know
My mind and body have betrayed me and it shows
My brain reboots each time the sun begins to shine
And if I didn't know better then I'd swear to you that it's not mine
I can't control my face, I can't avoid that furrowed brow
Would've thought they'd send someone right over to show me how

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.07: Jamie Woon - Making Time
Never been so inside
When I give into you
Never been so existent
You can't know unless you feel it,
come back bodies aching from the want and the waiting
I kept this pain when you're leaving
Never felt this before
Sunday, December 13, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.08: Jamie XX - In Colour
I go to those places
Where we used to go
They seem so quiet now
I'm here, all alone
You go to new places
With I don't know who
And I don't know how
To follow you
Saturday, December 12, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.09: Scott Matthew - This Here Defeat
Does anyone wanna leave this place, c'mon
go underground without a sound, c'mon
let skylines change
the headlines blame
with blood it stains
don't we feel the same?
can anyone piece my friends back together
if you stitch your head to my shoulder
you can cry upon it.

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.10: Lonelady - Hinterland
Put a record on make a connection
When I walk our fingers touch
Feel you here out in the hallows
Calling light give her too much
You can't stop this from falling apart
Thursday, December 10, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.11: Lianne La Havas - Blood
My head's held high when we walk down the line, honey
Arm-in-arm through the clear night sky
Let's be at peace, we'll fly
Our hearts collide
Can't escape the magnetic side
Wednesday, December 9, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.12: Hot Chip - Why Make Sense?
We take a chance
A lifelong tribulation
Break away from human nature
I forget myself, forget my limitations
Be with me, be my conversation
Tuesday, December 8, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.13: Ibeyi - Ibeyi
Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those all means are so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them
Monday, December 7, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.14: Majical Cloudz - Are You Alone?
There's one thing I'll do
If it ever goes wrong
I'll write you into my all of my songs
And if suddenly I die
I hope they will say
That he was obsessed and it was okay
Sunday, December 6, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.15: The Maccabees - Marks To Prove It
If you love them go and tell them
Tell them over and over and over again
Heaven forbid opportunity’s missed
And if it’s over, let it be over
‘Cos when time and again
You have tried it again
And you've worn it right down to the bone
Saturday, December 5, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.16: Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss
A hunger never satisfied
I can’t keep you off my mind
Dancing, moving, passing time
Lost worlds and endless nights
Friday, December 4, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.17: Jaakko Eino Kalevi - Jaakko Eino Kalevi
No one cares about you and your things
No one cares about you
You can go your own way
You can call it unknown
You can’t see or perceive
No use even try
Anything you want you can have
Anything you want
I wanna go tonight to the deeper shadows

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.18: Σtella - Σtella
How does it feel when you go
Looking around you
Walking like you know
Holding a wet cigarette
Buddy, you're asking for trouble I bet
Wednesday, December 2, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.19: Tuxedo - Tuxedo
Cause I have never met a girl
Quite like you in the whole wide world
Oooh because
You're number one, second to none
Tuesday, December 1, 2015
Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.20: EL VY - Return To The Moon
Went to bed and woke up inside another man's head
Nobody noticed

Song of the year: Siouxsie Sioux & Brian Reitzell - Love Crime (Hannibal Tv Series)
After eight years without any new recordings, Siouxsie is finally back again, with a song written for the finale of TV series Hannibal, along with the series' soundtrack composer, Brian Reitzell. While what we have heard is only a fragment of the full song (as Reitzell declared in an interview), it is mesmerising and easily the best song of 2015 by far.

This After Hours show was dedicated to the Carly Simon album "Hello Big Man: from 1983. It is an old favourite of mine, bringing back lots of memories, especially of the summer of 1984, when, having summer lessons every weekday for my English Cambridge Lower exams, I'd start my day listening to the namesake song from this album before going to class. Still love it to bits.

After Hours on Poplie radio: Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen - 27/05/2015
This is a show of mine from the After Hours zone of Poplie radio, where each DJ from the station presents one album that he considers special. Again I tried to comment on each and every song and talk about why it is important. not only for me but also for music history, as it is considered one of the best albums ever, finding its position in many music magazines and critics top-100 lists of all-time-best albums.

A radio show dedicated to songs from recent TV series - along with the renaissance of TV series, the quality of TV soundtracks, whether specially written for TV or not has also risen exponentially.
