Diary of an up and coming sociopath

This blog entry is part of a series where I’m going back and posting unfinished entries, if only to clear out my CMS.

This entry was notes for a “best of 2006″ entry that never got written, which indicates my favourite stuff of that particular year. Had I finished it, there would’ve been a tad more discussion of my choices, and probably a lot of them would’ve been changed too. But here’s what I was thinking of writing about:

Top 5 tracks:
Sway - This is my Demo (This is my Demo)
Captain - Frontline (Welcome to Hazelville)
Sabaton - Attero Dominatus (Attero Dominatus)
Charlotte Hatherley - Behave
Basskniv3s - Weapons of Mass Media
Genius - DJ Yoda - The Amazing Adventures of DJ Yoda
Disappointing - Tenacious D - Pick of Destiny / Placebo - Meds

Comics:
Phonogram
Local
Civil War #2
Project: Romantic
X-Factor

Late to the party award: Scott Pilgrim

Best gig - of the obvious contenders - Radiohead at Hammersmith, YYYs at the Forum, Tenacious D at Hammersmith, and the Placebo instore, I’ll have to go with the second. I’ve been waiting years to see YYY’s live and while the rest were all good, there’s never the same magic when you’ve seen a band before. YYY’s didn’t disappoint, and I got some excellent moshpit fun to boot.

Remember 2006? Phonogram, Scott Pilgrim, a new Placebo album… not entirely unlike 2009 in that respect.
