I’ve just realised that Blogjam is exactly one year old today. So, happy birthday to me. To mark the occasion, here’s a list of the first ten great albums from 2001 that came into my head just now, in no particular order.

1. Gillian Welch – Time (The Relevator)
2. The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
3. DJ Food & DK – Now, Listen
4. Jay Farrar – Sebastopol
5. Plunderphonics – 69 Plunderphonics 96
6. Dimmer – I Believe You Are A Star
7. Ryan Adams – Gold
8. Roots Manuva – Run Come Save Me
9. Original Soundtrack – Amores Perros
10. The Kingsbury Manx – Let You Down
11. Stephen Jones – 1985-2001

Yeah, I know that I’ve just listed eleven, but I don’t care; it’s my birthday, after all, so I’ll do what I want.
