Thought that might get your attention. Sadly, Joy's budget (last estimated at approximately £0.00) doesn't stretch to putting albums together just yet, so instead here's a set of links to MP3s by the bands that have rocked our year. You have to burn them onto a CD yourself, but, hey they're free, so stop moaning.

Enjoy.
