\nIt’s hard to keep this bit brief with so much good stuff this year so, well, I won’t. Apologies list fans. Faust in The Point were incredible and dangerous in the literal sense with Jean Herve Peron’s chainsaw wielding whilst wandering through the bemused crowd. Times New Viking were great on more than one occasion. The whole of Primavera festival was a treat but especially Smog, Trad Gras Och Stenar, Edan, Devo, Young Marble Giants (also at S\u0175n), Les Savy Fav (not at all into their records but a total treat live) and Throbbing Gristle…especially the encore of Zyklon B Zombie which was incredible and possibly my live highlight of the year. There were, however, many more contenders for that throne, many of them at Colour Out of Space festival in Brighton. Pretty much everything there was top notch but I took extra pleasure from Aaron Dilloway, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Dave Phillips and G*Park, Skullflower, Reins D’Angleterre, Lionel Marchetti and Yoko Higashi and Skaters. Oh, and Agaskodo Teliverek at S\u0175n. Fabulous.<\/p>\n
\nSwimming or, more accurately, floating in water and going on slides. Edinburgh festival, both the comedy stuff and the simple pleasure of being in Edinburgh which is a lovely place. Baking and cooking in general. Canteen on Clifton Street, Vegetarian Food Studio, Bistro 1, Minuet and other fine Cardiff eateries. Slayer Robots. My Birthday.<\/p>\n
\nPretty decent.<\/p>\n
\nOh I don’t know. I can’t think of anything that isn’t incredibly twattish (eg …365 days long…hoho). 2008 was a good one so I just hope it’s as good as or better than that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
