best excuse to have another drink-sitting in the jolly roger in hamburg with conor at 6.30 in the morning thinking maybe its time to leave.
until we point out that its only 5.30 in ireland so of course we have time for another one.

 

[Janer]

Best gig overseas - Could only afford the 1 so that would be Rebellion 2010

Best gig in Ireland (irish band)- I honestly couldn't remember so I looked at my pixie and it may have been Mongohorn, I was late discovering them but their gigs def have some of the ole unpredictabilty.

[-Smegma-]

Most head wrecking thing of the year: The amount crusty hardcore gigs that were put on for the smelly bastards.

 

[Break Neck Speed]

Divisions Ruin, Tunguska, ...Sylvia Plath, Cut the Reins and probably more have all split up. Bacchus hardly played a gig in 2010. Pretty poor year for crusty hardcore imo. Been fuck all touring bands playing this stuff either.
