Happy New Year

Happy 2011 everyone!  My year's begun with a broken Sky box and a broken car.  Looking on the bright side, lots of time for reading, eh?  This year will bring a new book by me and Siobhan Dowd, but this really is just to say Happy New Year to you all (and especially the new commenters).  In honour of the date, an EP of "New" songs from my very own iPod:

1. New Born, Muse - Muse is basically the best soundtrack to my books, you know.

2. New Dress, Depeche Mode - Sleazy electrobeat, years ahead of its time.

3. New Moon on Monday, Duran Duran - Because what's New Year's without at least one enjoyably naff embarrassment?

4. Down Is The New Up, Radiohead - Nope, I don't know what it's about either.  V dramatic, though.

5. New Year's Day, U2 - Of course, but it's from before they got all speechy.

Happy New Year, more to come...
