Making a post to you, dear readers, is the last thing to cross off my to-do list before kicking back and taking a well-deserved break over Christmas and the New Year. I would have loved to have queued up some posts for you to enjoy while I was gone, but you know what they say about best laid plans. Instead I encourage you to take a look back at some of the reviews I wrote of the great concerts I saw and albums I listened to this year. What got you excited in music this year Sounds of Oz readers?
