Happy New Year!


I had considered posting a countdown list for my favourite singles, albums and concerts of 2008 but I don't want to anymore. Coldplay, Sigur Ros, MGMT, Dir en grey, Death Cab For Cutie... it was a good year for music. I saw a lot of amazing gigs: Radiohead, Coldplay (Review coming soon), Oxegen (Review not coming lol). I discovered many bands that I hadn't listened to before and broadened my horizons musically by venturing into pop music for a bit. Rock, metal and visual kei will always be my loves but I think the best thing to do in 2009 is to continue what I started in 2008: listening to wider ranges of music. I enjoyed it and actually learned from it. I hope you will too, good reader.


Happy New Year.

P.S- I would like to thank a few friends for their help and support: Micheál, Bronagh, Gemma, Joe, Raul EV, Catherine, Laura, Michelle & Cully. Without you, I'm nothing.
