comments:
if it won’t be for aoex’ lp, I’d wonder if I would recall this year musically in some years. I think I’ve missed something


PERSONAL
-----------
A year of work for me mostly. A lot of stuff got done though a lot is still undone –then will the people finally realise that 24hours a day are way to less? We need longer days.

THE WORLD
-----------
A lot of people died this year, famous and unfamous. May they all rest in peace.
This and Bush for 4 more years. Great year.

THE BOARD
------------
The board party. Once again in 2005?
Besides that: I may cover a badly drawn boy and say: ‘everybody needs to know it was the year of the pongoid’. A few heated discussions we had hadn’t we?

What else? Fists great biscuit avatars –hooray!- I loved them, Fist and Ibi and the money, decadnids getting ripped of his laptop, phil and tania have a romance and make it public, phils-banning soap opera continous, loz and emef have an accident with the car

Did I forget anything? Its like a soap opera all over here sometimes, isn’t it?
Hope this board remains.

top 3 singles, tracks, ep's:
Mostly older stuff I've finally got an id of after a year or two.

top3 parties:
Subhead, Jerome Hill and Glencross.

comments:
Due to me never having money my grasp on new music is utter balls. And all the schranz nay sayers can fork off, yer it's not the most head challening thing in the world but it's still good at making you shake yer ass on the dancefloor for a bit of a change of pace.


PERSONAL
-----------
I appear to be finally coming out my shell kicking and screaming. Cor I even managed to kiss a girl this year that I really like, and asked her out! (and got shot down on New Years) Maybe this year I'll stop being sucha stupid quiet and retarded cunt about the girls and just go for it ending the never ending misery of hatter from me.


THE WORLD
-----------
It's all balls isn't it? I mean come on, nothing is ever going to change as everyone is too much of a prick to actually make things happen.



THE BOARD
------------
I've spoke more rubbish this year but other than that I'm mostly keeping my head down just because the quality of people around me who post more are much better and I don't always feel I've got something to add.

comments:

some girl who I apparently gave my number to called me when I was on my way home after the helmet show. to cut a long story short, she wanted to come to my house and hook up that night. I had no idea who she was or how or when I gave her my number. I told her never to call me again.

comments:
Didn't go out at all last year. Too many other (good & less good) things on my mind.

PERSONAL
-----------
Twas a great year, but felt like a transition. Loooots and lots of work (got myself a new job after being in the same firm for almost 8 years). Bought a house (hooray) and the son and girlfriend are doing fine.

THE WORLD
-----------
Oh, well... That wasn't going that well did it? Just when you thought you've seen the worst part of it, BAM! another devestating moment for the history books. I mean the tragedy in Beslan, the Tsunami; what a nightmare. Maybe that's 'transitional' too, dunno...


THE BOARD
------------
This seems like a lovely place. Been lurking quite some time, not really having anything decent to add, but will try and do so in the future. Love the background colour too!

PERSONAL
-----------
all in all - a pretty good year. making it through university, having two holidays which saved my mind from frying, learning new things about myself, and striking off items from a list I had in August 2004


THE WORLD

she scares me sometimes, but I'm ready to brave her.

is acting like it has the flu..



THE BOARD
------------
i happy to see the board progress. i left the board eariler this year as i felt it wasnt really being itself. opeing the board in the morning and seeing 4 closed posts kinda sucks cause that aint the chatting enviroment you came looking for. but you can let the bad egg spoil the batch, we all know the misbehavhour and kina ll contributed in some way. i happy to see a lack of german's & europeans and much more americans hanging around. im glad to be in such great company, which such great opinions and even better conversations.
we have succeceded where all others have failed. less dave clarke rants and more 'kompact' & fennesz talk. the way it should be
respect emma and cris

one other thing. RIP peel. u are greatly missed

MUSIC

I've probably listened to less new music this year than ever before, but with good reason..

but

top1 gig:
Jamie Lidell at Cargo

PERSONAL
-----------
Spent this year learning how to get tracks on vinyl in a good state, get a record label going and how not to play live... Managed not to work all year after being made redundant and am not in a rush to enter another damn office. Left London, so my life is pretty uncomplicated! Started studying again to hopefully ensure that I don't have to work in an office again. Properly off the weed at last. I'm just trying to concentrate on doing what I'm good at. (and not be so english and modest so that I wince when I write things like that!)

THE WORLD
-----------

Too depressing. Sometimes you can think about stuff too much.

THE BOARD
------------

An unhealthy but enjoyable distraction!

BALLS? PRICK? ...pagin dr. freud.. dr. freud...

sorry i have to make comments when i come across things like this, otherwise.. *whispers* i constipate...

singles
i like "girls" by prodigy
"hot ride" by prodigy
and another one on the same cd i dont kow the name of.. i just bought the cd a week ago, thats why i llike it, im still in the "artificially retro-ratification of a recent purchase decision" phase, you know, the A.R.R.O.A.R.P.D. as they say..

though its not the album od the year, the album name is always outnumbered, never outgunned... its mostly "balls" but not hairy smelly ones, more a nicely shaven, not too veiny, perfumed scrotum... wel maybe after a brisk 15 minutes of speed walking, but on a cool day though and not humid either....

otherwise my favorite music is my own.. pasted together bleeps with some farts...

other 2004 stuff... ? honestly yall dont know me that well, i would feel exposed... i fear ive said too much already...

im so fucking hip hop sometimes

comments:
2005 is the year of doom rock and drone-core for me!


PERSONAL
-----------
Finally sorted my fucking life out... good job, moved to decent place, sorted out my creative priorities and started having proper fun.

Hooked up with the Werk gang and got airplay from Peely in his final year, had a great time in Madrid and at the boat party.

Started playing Live and realised it's more work than studio stuff!

Decided to do more drawing and less music.

Re-introduced myself to the wonderful world of comics.

launched website to a truly stunned world


THE WORLD
-----------
Screwed, but it's hard not to stay optimistic - in a bizarre 'watchmen' kinda way the tsunami has maybe helped to shift the world's priorities...I hope so anyway.


THE BOARD
------------
spent 3 months in a job looking at this place every 5 minutes. now have a job that means i look at it about every 5 hours for 5 minutes... which is how it should be as far as I am concerned.

PERSONAL
-----------
Was refreshing to cut down my pot consumption to almost zero - my head feels like it works properly again.


THE WORLD
-----------
I watched/listened to more news in the past 12 months than the rest of my life put together, and I think there's good reason for that.


THE BOARD
------------
No Future remains one of the few hangouts on the web that has not evolved into a citadel of covert cockfoolery. I would post more if I had more time to. Hats off to Emma and Cris for their patience and hard work - I'm sure NF will have a prosperous 2005.
