So the new year is already here and I hope you all had a great 2005.
I’m a little slack at the moment (I’m on holidays, deal with it!) so I didn’t get round to posting my ‘Best of 2005′ in 2005 so here it is bitches…!
Best Gig of 2005
‘Gyroscope at Rubys in Belgrave’
What started out as a quiet Thursday(?) night, Dan the Man, Stu, Doug, Pete and myself cruised down to Belgrave to check out Gyroscope, The Hot Lies and Behind Crimson Eyes.
Besides more than your average amount of beer being drunk, Gyroscope rocking so bloody hard, a mosh pit consisting of 5, we all ended up ‘behind the magic bookcase’ hangin with the bands.
I’ve been told that my interview method and questions were second to none.
Honorable Mention
Mad Caddies followed by Supper Club, Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger
Best Album of 2005
Gyroscope ‘Are You Involved?’
The second full length release from Gyroscope was a killer and easily earned the title of best album.
Hell I’m still giving Sound Shattering Sound a thrashing so I’ll still be listening to Are You Involved way into 2006.
Honorable Mention
Wolfmother ‘Self Titled’ and Coheed and Cambria ‘Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness (This could probably be the longest album title of 2005 if not all time!)
Beer of 2005
Chimay
It’s expensive as hell and brewed by Monks.
Nuff said.
Honorable Mention
Carlsberg and Sol (a very very late inclusion to the best of)
TV Show of 2005
Arrested Development
Even though Arrested Development is already into it’s third season, no show seems to be quoted and watched repeatedly by myself and the rest of the hornbag.net crew.
I’ve said it a million times before but this is one of the best comedies of all time. It’s well written, has an awesome cast and the call backs and plot twists are second to none.
Honorable Mention
Top Gear, Lost, My Name Is Earl and Prison Break
So that’ll do for now… have a great 2006
