Last Year's Girl is not a music blog, although you wouldn't believe that from the way I carry on. So if you've got something you think I should hear, get in touch!

Believe The Hype

If only your scope of musical interest stretched as far as your mouth... Do us a favour and stop writing about music, keep writing the man-hating.
