1. I've been to fuck all gigs this year but the ones I did get to were the
Knockin' Boots affairs so big thanks to Danny and Traycee for that

( can I get my xmas present now?)

2. Gig posters/flyers

Again- some nice work from Danny but both Gav Beattie and Glyn have produced amazing stuff this year

So my vote goes for Glyn/Scrawlzine

3. Best zine -Riot 77

Man, I saw Lizzy there a few nights ago and I must say...they were fukkin' amazing!!! About 90% of the tunes they played were a million times better than the original line up could of ever achieved. For a glorified covers band, fukkin' A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!!!

Best gigs: Blowfly, Seasick Steve, Boris, Gza, Leo's "last one", Portishead, Infinite Shurikens in New Ross. .|..|

Best thing I did all year: Learn to play the drums and start metal bands...get the leather and studs ready for '08!! .|..|

Dudes of the Year: I-2-da-muthafukking-P, Eoin "Fullster" Lombardo, Dr. Willie Jones, Leo Slayer and Tobias Swiftfoot. Much love!

Best Irish Release: the Putrefaction shint! .|..|

Best Scene Trend: The oldies all packing up and moving out to the country.

Worst Scene Trend: All this shitty-ass-plinkity-plonk-widdle-widdle-post-indie-shitehawk-gimp-rock!! I'll never stop rocking, balls to your "post rock"!

New Bands: Apes of the Mo-Fukkin’ Wrath, Drainland...go Team Colin, Yurt...I snuck a listen to the practice tapes! .|..|

Lady of the Year: Mine, because she’s better than yours!

Things I'm most looking forward to in '08: Finishing college, Gary coming home, Roadburn, hopefully getting one of the bands I'm in to tour home and abroad, rocking even harder, getting better at the drums, becoming an all round nicer person...it‘ll never happen though.

I’m sure there’s loads of stuff I forgot...oh well!!

Listen to Sabbath, and smoke weed!!

Good man. Well said.

 

[cesspooldublin]

Good man. Well said.

yep.Less pedals, more riffs in 2008!

 

[damien]

best scene trend - reactionary divisive internet hating

less friends, more enemies in 2008!

 

[Denver Max]

Best Trend - People doing bands that they want to do regardless of what people in the scene want to hear, i don't like alot of it but Bats, Vimanas, Adebisi Shank, Terrordactyl, fair play.

Worst Trend- A tie for "People who think they've seen it all and can slag off whatever doesn't fit into the current "cool" trend" and "Everyone becoming overnight Stoner/Doom/Rock overlords"

Hopes for 2008 - That people will crawl out of their own cavernous arseholes and realize they're not the hot shit they think they are. Higher gig attendances. Idiots realizing they're fucking dickheads for carpeting the ground outside of gigs with cans.

 

[cesspooldublin]

oh relax for fuck's sake.it's only a bit of fun.no one actually hates these people.
