first post in a long time.

While listening to Triple J's Hottest 100 yesterday, I realised how out of touch I was with what the hip kids are listening to these days. 2009 was the year I really got into the punk side of life(Soundwave, Warped Tour, Thrice, Paramore...) and as a consequence I felt little to no connection with the music yesterday. I'm no Nick Underhill. lolz.

Thank goodness for Mumford & Sons.

:)

Another restropective- My top 50 artists of 2009 according to last.fm were:

Paramore, Underoath, Thrice, Taking Back Sunday, Coldplay, Radiohead, Muse, Chiodos, Meg & Dia, Noah and the Whale, Eisley, Enter Shikari, Between the Buried and Me, Lisa Mitchell, Billy Talent, A Day to Remember, Brooke Fraser, Brand New, Feist, Elliott, Motion City Soundtrack, Jeff Buckley, Alexisonfire, Minus the Bear, Karnivool, Mogwai, The Devil Wears Prada, Bring Me the Horizon, Anberlin, Mew, Protest the Hero, Fall Out Boy, Jon Foreman, Jimmy Eat World, The Matches, The Beatles, My Chemical Romance, Emery, Rise Against, Gyroscope, Howling Bells, Arcade Fire, Jack's Mannequin, Bon Iver, The Frames, The Butterfly Effect, DJ Shadow, Mumford & Sons, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Girl Talk.

Two Thousand Ten

The end of the decade. When we enter out twenties, we have the benefit of actually being mentally capable of looking back and enjoying our memories- all the joys and regrets and all the ups and downs. It's very different from turning 10, and very different from turning 30. It's kind of the point where we can be thankful for all that's passed, yet entirely excited for the next decade to come, which in reality is very very difficult to predict. Once we turn 30, i assume life is pretty much set by then. Haha.

Anyway, here's a list of every movie I watched this year. Ever. This list covers 12 months, 4 countries, a few plane trips, a few Imax trips, and several anime nights. I started out the list by writing a small blurb about each movie I watched, for personal reasons, but I won't go into detail here.
