Steve's BARTS Nominations

Best Album
1. Royal Blood - "Royal Blood"
2. Smashing Pumpkins  - "Monuments to an Elegy"

Best Song
1. Royal Blood - "Out of the Black"
2. Royal Blood - "Loose Change"
3. Smashing Pumpkins - "Being Beige"

Best Musical Discovery 
My continued exploration of the works of Debussy and Bach
Mother Love Bone

Best Film
Never quite got round to seeing "Interstellar", so it's probably a coin toss between "Elysium", "Enders Game" or "Edge of Tomorrow"

Best Book
"2312" by Kim Stanley Robinson. But I want to read "Everyone Poos".

Best Gig
I'm going to see Neil's new band, The Retro Collective, who I believe are a blues combo, play on 27 December as part of my birthday celebrations. As this will be the only 'gig' I've been to this year, it would be rude not to nominate it.

Best TV Programme
After a bit of a dip during seasons 2 and 3, "Homeland" has seen a tremendous return to form for season 4. And Doctor Who, of course.

Best Radio
The digital one in my kitchen
