I might just draft my pressies list here, starting with Katie Kim, Jenny Lindfors and SeaDog...Flinders sounds interesting but I'm not a Duke Special fan. Stone me! Colin: EPs this week. I'm gonna drag this out for an entire month :p Sorry for delays guys, busy weekend/start!

Only got Halfsets one so have no real opinion yet! Fight Like Apes one is very good too but part of me just hates it really squeaky clean polished production done on it and that terrible Beverly Hills song should not be on it! Dukes Specials new album should definitely be on that list. It's well impressive. Think it came out last week? Also missing is Flinders! A brilliant one man band with loads of looping guitars and vocals. His album was released about 2 months ago. I do think some of my best purchases were EPs though. GPO/Subplots/Ugly Megan/Funeral Suits are a few that really stand out for me! Get an Best EPs of 2008 list together! There was quite a few. Adebisi Shank for me. Only got Halfsets one so have no real opinion yet!

For me, it's a toss-up between Adebisi Shank and MJEX, though RSAG has been making a run as of late. Probably Adebisi Shank since I can have my mind blown more times in the space of an hour. I was disappointed by Fight Like Apes and Halfset, and I've just never been able to like God Is An Astronaut. I did get into a slagging match with one of them on MySpace a while back though. It was fun. Everybody knows that Armageddons happen in December.

My song of the year is either Christchurch, 6 Bells by the Spook or perhaps Reading Old Diary Entries or You People Are Idiots by Michael Knight. And I really liked Do A Runner by YOM, We are Men by Cap Pas Cap, Off Out & Commuting by So Cow, I Was a Man by Jape, Mythical Creatures by Groom (don't think it was released, it's on their myspace).
