HIGHLIGHT OF 2014

Seeing NOFX supported by Frenzal Rhomb and The Bennies was a manic and insane show. One of the craziest I've seen in a long time.

PREDICTION FOR 2015

I predict that early 2000s rap-rock will make a comeback and once more Limp Bizkit will be one of the most popular bands in the world. On a more serious note I am very excited for Paul Thomas Anderson's new film being released. It’s a kind of neo-noir detective film called Inherent Vice and I predict it to be one of the best films of the year.
