Obviously a very debatable topic, but so much music seems to be left in the background these days it’s easy for a group to fall through the cracks. M83 h...

I've taken it upon myself to compile a list of the 10 best albums of 2011 according to the writers of Never Enough Notes, unfortunately there's at least 50 albums which should have been mentioned but I'm not technically savvy enough to make a bigger list.

What followed was an insightful interview about worm-charming, and a recording of Pete (the lead singer) reading 'A Very Scary Story', as written by Paul and Gary.

What with appearances from bands such as Alessi's Ark, M83 and Wild Beasts releasing sophomore albums, and newer faces on the scene, it has been another exciting year...but it's not over yet!

It isn’t a place renowned for its musical prowess, but with recent movements in the Derby music scene, things are clearly afoot. From The Ground is an encouraging debut from this quintet. The music isn’t forced, it doesn’t try to show off and it stays true to folk’s inherent mantra; if something’s worth doing, it’s worth taking your time.

For the first time in its history the Camden Crawl will expand to a three-day event kicking off with an opening night party featuring six live acts and a special edition of Club NME on Friday 4th May from 5pm at KOKO. A full music and arts programme will run from midday on Saturday 5th May until the early hours of the following bank holiday Monday. It's certainly come a long way since the one-day festival started at 4pm!

They’ve built up quite the local following with their beautiful heartfelt melodies and putting on their own special Derby show is the perfect fit in the jigsaw. The classic and prestigious Guildhall in Derby Town Centre, which despite its unusual past has now come to be used as a theatre, and will host the event on Friday 2nd December.

I could easily scour this indecently charismatic firebrand's brilliant lyrics and find a few thousand phrases that would work as perfect life mottos or statements of intent, but if there's one line that sums up my feelings about music festivals, particularly as the season draws to a close, this is it.

Watching one of their first ever live gigs back at Offset festival 2010, as I watched Duncan work mysterious magic with his fingers dancing over the keys, and Emma’s voice crystal clear and pin sharp, my heart jumped realising these two, whilst very fresh and new to the music world, were destined for very big things.

For the most part these where messages of sadness and thoughts for her family but, as with any high profile person’s death, there where the usual tirade of ill-taste humour. Moreover, a singer whose best known track is about refuting the need for rehab then dies from a drugs/drink overdose. This makes a play on words painfully easy. But the fact of the matter is a young woman, the same age as myself save a few months has died. My parent’s reaction was...
