the best of 2009
Thursday, December 31st, 2009OK
So I was thinking about what sort of post I wanted to have as my last one for the decade
Something profound?
Memorable?
And I thought, you guys can go read someone elses blog for that shit
So in the interest of saving time
For me & you
There’s alcohol to be consumed you know
Like DUH – it’s NEW YEAR’S EVE
Instead of a blog
I’m going to do a list
Which is a lot like one of my blogs really
Short sentences, one after another
Only with HEADINGS
OOOOOOH
Going through my favourite things of 2009
Here goes…
.
FAVOURITE ALBUMS:
I realise that some of these were released before 2009. I think we’ve already established that I’m a fucktard
- the music of GLEE
- taylor swift- fearless (when something is played EVERY FUCKING DAY in your house, it grows on you, you know?)
- train – save me san francisco
- jenny talia – the blonde leading the blonde(made my faves list, just becasuse I got it fucking FINISHED!)

- across the universe – the soundtrack (beatles covers)
- brad paisley – american saturday night (the one album that Dad & I could agree on backstage)
FAVOURITE SONGS:
(different to albums – these were just songs that ‘did it’ for me this year – again some were released ‘fuck knows when’)
- you’ll always find your way back home – hannah montanna soundtrack (Don’t laugh you fuckers. If you saw Miss 4 bust a move to this at cheerleader camp, you’d love the shit out of this tune too!)
- who says – john mayer (’cause this is different for him, and I liked it)
- heavenly day – patty griffin (I love this song every year)
- hot & cold – katy perry (the girls and I danced out arses off every time we heard this – yet somehow I still have an arse?!?!)
- smile – uncle kracker (great song to use for a photo slideshow)
- looking out – brandi carlile (’cause I just love listening to this chick sing)
- monsters vs aliens
- my sister’s keeper
- where the wild things are
- ice age: dawn of the dinosaurs
- sunshine cleaning
- earth
(any movie that wasn’t a cartoon was watched on a plane)
FAVOURITE SHOWS (that we played):
(we had a year full of great shows, but these ones came to mind first)
- the grove – dunstable UK (the audience were 11 out of 10)
- vicar st – dublin (the best sing-a-long - the Irish accents helped)
- north sydney leagues – sydney (where I caught up with mates & that snobby chick spewed)
- christchurch – new zealand (where I was warned they’d be loud – and they were right – awesomely so)
- ferntree gully – victoria (where we celebrated Dad’s 25th year in the biz)
