Word of the Year: 2009

NOW to address certain DISCREPANCIES

1) Mr Parrish, I think you will find that the pinback show you were at was in 2007, your remissness in missing them in not only 2001, but 2004 are noted. Further, your complete lack of going to see them in Manchester two days after London where they were amazing is piles on mounting evidence of your shame. Admittedly they were pretty shit in London, that venue was balls.

2) Dr Carney are you really singling out that band, I think we've played with at least two worse ones this year (last month maybe even). Also we were totally shit that night so best to forget the whole thing!

ISWSTTV did at least have youth as an excuse for awfulness - unlike the bands Ray-On,or Keith's Shed, for example - but their shitty bass amp totally ruined the collective Ripping Yarns concentration and fucked me off no end.

Can we have a category for [Event Chat] of the year?

Published by Wrongfellow at 2:01am on Thu 11th December 2008.

No, because it's the same thing as "Gig of the Year".

Published by Silent Rob at 8:42am on Thu 11th December 2008.

SR, are you going to compile a current list of where the different categories are going?

Published by greenmindgigs at 8:50am on Thu 11th December 2008.

Possibly, if I get time.

Published by Silent Rob at 8:55am on Thu 11th December 2008.

Well stop posting on other threads and get compiling ;-)

Published by greenmindgigs at 9:00am on Thu 11th December 2008.

I've compiled totals before, and it's a waste of time before the poll has been up for a few weeks because more people post afterwards thus making the previous total void.

Published by Silent Rob at 9:05am on Thu 11th December 2008.

I was just curious where we were at so far :-)

Well i expect you to do no work on your last day and to post up the christmas results...

word of the year - could also be epic. I've been mentally overusing it for a few months now.

Published by Doris (not active) at 10:37am on Thu 11th December 2008.

Right. Voting has ended. Any more votes can't be counted so if you've not voted yet - tough, you've missed it. I've worked all out all this extremely quickly so might have made a miscount. If you are bothered then you can collate the scores yourself.

Very quickly worked out:

The best band is:

1=TTG 6 votes (also mentioned once in "new band" so they win overall with technically 7 votes)
1=Fuzzy Lights 6 votes
3=PRK 3 votes
3=The Resistance 3 votes
5=Um 2 votes
5=Paul Goodwin 2 votes

The best new band is:

1= Victoria & Jacob 4 votes
1= United Snakes 4 Votes
2 Lonely the Brave 3 votes

I think everyone else got one vote and I can't be bothered to list them all as joint 3rd place.

Worst Band hardly anyone voted for and no one got more than one vote except Scouting for Girls and The Resistance. But I did invite that by starting the thread and adding "be nice now!". Furthermore I enjoy annoying people who hate us.

WANner of the year is:

1 Jude1 4 votes
2= BRM 3 votes
2=Bigmal 3 votes
3= Knockdownginger 2 votes
3= Kuryakin 2 votes
3= ABA 2 votes

All the other catagories got such a diverse range of responses it's impossible to count them all. Sarah Palin and David Cameron had healthy showings in "twat of the year" though.

Anyway, happy Christmas all.

I have found a lot of generous people on this site who have been kind enough to offer so much help in my recent awful weeks. For that reason I really couldn’t do the WAN awards as my list of names on the WANer of the year would be too long! Thank you.
