Top 5 Records
of 2005:
(autobiographically, I admit).
Kanye West's Slo Jamz
Dilated People's This Way
Hooverphonic's 2wicky
Snoop Dogg's Drop It Like It's Hot
Green Day's City of the Damned
Top 5 movies of 2005
This list is gonna be dominated by kid shows. Is this because of the dearth/selectiveness of movie watching i did last year, or because it was just a bad year for other stuff/good year for kid shows?
The Incredibles
Batman Begins
Howl's Moving Castle
March of the Penguins
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
and lastly, needing a mention here only because it has a lovely end sequence,
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
This is at least partially because I can't figure whether The Jacket and Closer were released in 2005 or not.
So does what you like matter more than what you are? Does your taste say more about you than your speech? I can't decide. If I look at my choices here, it's pretty dire. But that's only this year, I defend to myself. It was a terrible year (and I cheated on the records, going autobiographically). I want to be a person of decent taste, but isn't that also shallow, to judge someone based on their taste in music and film?
Top 5 bands I saw for the first time in 2005
B-quartet
Death of Cinema
Mistaken Pirates
Sally's Rejex
Gerhana Ska Cinta
I'd include Shelf but I just heard they've sort of retired.... Hi to the lead singer for saying hi first. Big up yourself guys! I hope you'll go again.

First to last
Back and forth
Across the path
Looking for something
We know not what
Perhaps we'll find it
At the start
