I'm heartbroken to see it go. Caught so many good shows there, it was a major part of my life. Easily the best venue in the city and I was lucky to have gone four nights this final week.



Anyway, I love this jangly Aussie, seven inch by Brisbane's Thigh Master.

I don’t listen to as many new albums as most people around here, but here’s my ranking of what I’ve heard from 2014:

1. Septicflesh – Titan
2. Behemoth – The Satanist
3. Death from Above 1979 – The Physical World
4. White Lung – Deep Fantasy
5. Antemasque – Antemasque
6. Future Islands – Singles
7. Sharon Van Etten – Are We There
8. Kristeen Young – The Knife Shift
9. Melvins – Hold It In
10. King Buzzo – This Machine Kills Artists
11. Interpol – El pintor
12. Perfect Pussy – Say Yes to Love
13. The Afghan Whigs – Do to the Beast
14. Lykke Li – I Never Learn
15. Crowbar – Symmetry in Black
16. Killer Be Killed – Killer Be Killed

I disliked to hated all the ones I've heard from that list. Good job.

Crowbar still makes tapes?

Didn't even like The Satanist at all?

It's the only one here that I could have liked, because I did enjoy some of their previous albums, but no I found it dull.

3 albums from your top 5 would have a spot in my worst 10 for sure.

1. Benji - Sun Kil Moon
2. Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave - The Twilight Sad
3. Clearing The Path To Ascend - YOB
4. They Want My Soul - Spoon
5. First Demo - Fugazi
6. No Energy - Unwound
7. The Satanist - Behemoth
8. Rave Tapes - Mogwai
9. Dead - Young Fathers
10. Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything - Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

I'm so far behind I haven't even heard Benji yet.

OMG a list without Benji/Lost in the Dream/St Vincent

Nice to see the Shellac record on there.

Here's Thrown from the album:

Seriously, this could be my favourite album of he year. Totally excellent.

Kiasmos - Looped
