Some blog housekeeping

The end of a year and I've decided to clear out my lists and start afresh for 2010. To be honest they were getting a bit unwieldy over there on the left hand side of the screen anyway. This year I'll include podcasts in my 'Listening' list as I'm as much tuned into them these days as I am any music.

So here, if only for posterity's sake, is the majority of my cultural intake for 2009 (I really must try and read more)....
