Well another year draws to a close, time to review what was hot and what was not.
Albums of 2005
The best albums of the year as voted for by me.
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
FEEDER - Pushing The Senses
I love FEEDER so it was always going to get into my end of year list.
Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll
Released Jan 2nd. 2005 - little else has been better all year long.
Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams
Everyone needs some socially charged chill out acoustics.
Buck 65 - Secret House Against The World
Just as good as 'Talkin The Honky Blues' if not better!
Test Icicles - For Screening Purposes Only
A late entry, bought out of curiosity and loved it.
Coldplay - X&Y
X&Y was so slow to get into but once you did it was excellent stuff!
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Seen them live twice this year, will certainly see them again.
Gorillaz - Demon Days
How can anyone not love this album?
The Dead 60's - The Dead 60's
The Liverpool band storm the airwaves with a bit of ska and reggae.
The Subways - Young For Eternity
Not sure if this deserves the top 10 position or not but i enjoyed it.
Movies of 2005
It's been a quiet year for really good movies this year me thinks.

Sin City
The Frank Miller masterpiece probably due to be ruined by a sequel.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
The memories, the tears, the graphics! *cries* UK DVD release in 2006!
Howls Flying Castle
Hayao Miyazaki is simply a god. That is all. Oh and read
this too.
Mr & Mrs Smith
Angelina Jolie....
Hitch
I laughed my ass off though this movie.
Sideways
Cleverly written with a sharp and dry sense of humor...
Madagascar
Well this was funny too... wasn't quite what i hoped though.
Downfall
Finally a real movie about Hitler that doesn't get carried away.
The Life Aquatic
A somewhat bizarre movie that you just have to watch again and again.
The Amityville Horror
One of the few films this year to actually pack some scares.
Other cool stuff...
Other stuff that's cool... i.e. not Movies or Music
The 2005 Sinners
Some of the things that really pissed me off this year...
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Charley and the Chocolate Factory
Tim Burton should be executed by lethal injection as soon as possible.
Star Wars Episode 3
Too long and yet at the same time it felt like they where rushing the story.
The White Stripes
I was really looking forward to the new album, ended up not really getting it.
Leeds Festival
3.50 ($6.70) for a mother fucking nasty Carling beer!!!!!
Michelin Tyres
*sigh* - they let Ferrari actually win a race in 2005. Unforgivable.
Have a happy xmas everyone...
