Well and truly into the silly season
Lots and lots of going out to do, and a website to update before the end of the year! Polls are happening left, right and centre - details of ours is on the message board. If you want to know what all the other zines and weblogs are choosing there's a good thread over at I Love Music which collects a lot of the lists together.
I went to a great show last night - The National, Desert Hearts and Barry Peak played Auntie Annies - the sound was the best I had ever heard in there and all of the acts were great. The National had driven from London to Belfast and hadn't had any sleep, despite this they won a lot of people over, though I think their record is even better than their live show. Desert Hearts were also the worse for wear, but they were stunning - the best gig I've seen them play although I'm sure they won't believe me!
