Highlight Of The Year
Taking the Brisbane Lines to their inaugural Community Cup victory as playing coach, the 'yes' vote getting up in every state, getting to put out Spiral Stairs' album on St Kilda coloured vinyl (young me would think my job here on Earth is done), an incredible spree of great Aussie underground albums being released all throughout the year — the album poll this year was stupidly hard.
Prediction For 2018
People everywhere will be outraged by increasingly trivial things and voice said outrage vociferously on social media and the internet until it all just becomes noise and folks start to step back and realise that they're wasting the only time they're gifted on Earth and start enjoying life and living it to the full. Sorry, that last bit will never happen, we'll just get inane amounts of increasingly ludicrous (and usually self-serving) outrage...
