my year in lists part 4. miscellany one

Top 5 Favourite People to follow on Twitter
  • @loscampesinos : err because they're the greatest band ever. and Gareth really can go off on one sometimes and mostly he just likes football and the X Factor. like a normal person. sample tweet: I love Robbie Williams so much.
  • @kanyewest : using Twitter as the soap box that he so badly needed before. sample tweet: I can't be everybody's hero and villain savior and sinner Christian and anti Christ!
  • @FakeCraigFinn: doing Hold Steady lyrics better than the Hold Steady on their last record. sample tweet: She said, 'Don't call until you put yourself together' / But lots of the pieces are still at her place
  • @serafinowicz : the reason twitter was made. non-stop joke machine. sample tweet: Although he detests The Joker, Batman enjoys attending his standup gigs
  • @popjustice : best music website bar none. AMAZING. sample tweet: I wonder what it would take to make Bad Romance to sound bad. I believe it to be IMPOSSIBLE.

Top 2 Songs about the Munich Air Disaster
  1. News & Tributes by The Futureheads : this is beautiful and moving and makes me close to tears every time I listen to it.
  2. Munich Air Disaster 58 by Morrissey : quite good but mostly about Morrissey in a depressing "woe is me way" and as such, less moving.

Top 3 gigs I went to this year

  1. Los Campesinos w/ Frankie and the Heartstrings and Johnny Foreigner : hands down, the greatest the best gig i've ever been to. Obviously the music was brilliant and all that but after a few horrible months, this show was the emotional catharsis I desperately needed. Shouting the best lyrics ever written until my lungs burnt and dancing until I couldn't feel my feet. The year changed that day; things got better (the day after was pretty sweet too.)
  2. Vampire Weekend w/ Janelle Monae and Ratatat : a more purely joyous and happy evening I have not spent in quite a while. Good company too. I slept very well that evening, for the first time in ages.
  3. Bon Jovi : Completely unexpectedly brilliant. I was being too cool about it for ages before hand and even during the poor and forgettable (forgotten) support band but when the Jovi appeared I got stupidly excited and loved every second.
