2015 highlight of the year
The Sleater-Kinney reunion (in case you didn't notice). They're the exception to the rule below. The album was phenomenal, I'm looking forward to the shows next year and it has capped off a year that, for me, has been full of strong and powerful women making great music.
prediction for 2016
The trend of bands that shouldn't get back together but are getting back together will stop. Except Champion. If Champion came back that would be ok. But please, no more reformations resulting in crappy albums and disappointing performances at festivals.
