Oh ok then…s0metim3s has given us her favourites of 2005. I wasn’t going to do this, but since I’m waiting for South Africa to be bowled out before I head out for the rest of the day… Favourites of 2005 I’ve restricted this to things that were published/screened or events that happened in 2005. Albums 50 Foot Wave – Golden Ocean It was mainly pop/rock for me this year – I even bought a guitar (which I still can’t play)! The sort of experimental music that I’d usually obsess over, this year I’d generally listen to once or twice before moving on. See Utility Fog for all the postfolkrocktronica that I should’ve been listening to. Blogs Too many – see the blog roll. It has been a privilege to have participated in the blog phenomenon and to have met so many amazing people. Extra love to those who have commented at, or linked to this humble blog. Films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I didn’t go to the cinema nearly enough this year. Games Dragonshard Live Music Ben Byrne & Clayton Thomas @ Disorientation I also played live more often this year than any other. Highlights included a solo performance at the National Gallery of Australia for Liquid Architecture 6, Canberra; a technically disastrous but well-received set with WUAL for Liquid Architecture 6, Melbourne; better WUAL performances at Disorientation and Electrofringe; duo performances with Rik Rue (at if you like improvised music…), John Jacobs (at e)scapes) and Ben Byrne (twice, at the NOW now, and a VJ performance at Science Fiction); a solo performance at The Night Air Audiotheque; a solo performance and a Time Being DJ performance at Disorientation; performances with the Splinter Orchestra at Liquid Architecture 6, Sydney and Science Fiction. TV Arrested Development Thank goodness for broadband. What’s In / What’s Out What’s out: CDs What’s in: TEH INTERNETS! RelatedComments are closed. |
