next week we're previewing 2009 (well mostly the very busy start of it) as there aren't a lot of records out and we wanna dedicate December to making sense of this year.

anyway, we're putting together a bit of a guide and have interviewed a heap of bands about their new records but before we get too carried away we wanted to check we've not missed anything.

so, what're you looking forward to and who else should we be quizzing to find out more? The National? Maximo Park? Franz? Patrick Wolf? Mastodon? Animal Collective? The Cribs? Deftones? Wilco? Yeah Yeah Yeahs? My Vitriol (er..)?
