2009 - This year in music gone

Recommended Posts

I think that Avenged Sevenfold's drummer dying aged 28 is a pretty big thing. Even if you don't like the music that is far too young to die.

R.I.P

Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan.

Only song I really listened to was Unholy Confessions.

Nevertheless, he will be missed sorely R.I.P

In retrospect I don't think 2009 has been a particularly great year for music :(

Albums - Best I can come up with is

  • Municipal Waste - Massive Aggressive
  • Beginning Of The End - If you're Going Through Hell...Keep Going
  • Active Minds - It's Perfectly Obvious That This System Doesn't Work

No Individual song from 2009 really stands out

Musical Events

  • Motorhead / The Damned / Girlschool - Leeds Academy - 20th November
  • Volbeat - Download festival - 14th June
  • Backyard Babies / Danko Jones - Utreicht Tivoli (Netherlands) - 28th March
  • Criminal Damage - London The Grosvenor - 5th June
  • The Dew Drop (Death Drop) squatted pub - London - Squatted since January 2009 - Home to some crazy gigs/parties and also home to some very good friends
  • Joining The Wankys - and getting back into playing live on a regular basis

Looking forward to a much better 2010 - starting in January with Pisschrist gig in Singapore and Wankys Japan tour - Later in the year Wankys gigs/tours in Germany, Netherlands and America

forgot this was released in 09, i thought 08 for some reason. Regardless IMO the best songs the prodigy have produced were "breathe" and "their law".

Not sure about Maximo Park though, i thought Quicken the Heart was pretty good, not as good as Our Earthly Pleasures but still impressive.

That was my biggest disappointment of the year I have love Frank Turner from as far back as Million Dead, his first few releases with him, his guitar and nothing else were just brilliant but while poetry of the dead had it's moments I couldn't help thinking with a band he had just turned into the Levellers.

I'm not going to lie, it was nowhere near as good as Love, Ire & Song but I still really liked it. I'm not sure whether you've caught him live yet, but he's absolute class.

One of my regrets was missing Million Dead when they played the Charlotte a few years ago. They split up 2 weeks later and i missed it having had tickets becuase my mate Dan the Goff didn't fancy going in the end and i couldn't persuade anyone else to come with.

Epic live! Loved it. He wouldnt played Pornography for Cowards though.

Really liked what Brand New did this year, good to see them experimenting more.

Beggars by Thrice is another one I'd include in a 'best of' 2009.

The last 2 Brand New albums Daisy and The devil and god are raging inside me have both been brilliant
