The Boy Least Likely To - The Best Party Ever.
Haven't heard anyone else speak of it, and it's sooo awesome!
Most over-rated record of the year
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute:
Everyone raves about it, but I just don't seem to get what's so great about it.
Best local release
Asha - (selftitled).
Mainly because I know the guy who produced it/played guitar on it. Good folky-pop stuff.
Record you are most anticipating for 2005, and why?
I'm anticipating Radiohead's new release. Why? Cause it's bloody Radiohead!!! |
