He is one half of Every Other Ones, one of the legendary Hi-On Maiden (not Higher-on Maiden, they’re not the ‘official’ tribute band, if you wondered), and a jolly good chap. He ventured to write up his top ten albums of 2009 list and, being the inspirational man he is… inspired me to listen to a few albums I hadn’t heard before, via his wonderful Spotify playlist.

I did, and so Emmy The Great made her way here. Well, that and the fact that the other song I had chosen for this week hasn’t yet got an official video, as one half of that act himself told me (if you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen me ask :).
