Doug85 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Album: Lover- Taylor Swift (with a special shout out to Hypersonic Missiles from Sam Fender) Song: Hypersonic Missiles - Sam Fender Glastonbury Set: Toss up between Stormzy/Lizzo/Kylie probably favouring Stormzy as I had an ace time. Non-Glastonbury Gig: Sam Fender- North Shields. Film: Joker TV Show: Line of Duty or Killing Eve. (Game of Thrones was close if they didn't ruin the end) Book: Kimi Raikkonen Autobiography Game: Resident Evil 2 Remake for me too although Modern Warfare came close. eFester of the Year 2019: Always tough this category but i'll go with Russycarps for his complete silence and stubbornness at remaining on 19,999 posts, I await the day he returns just to call Dave Grohl or Boris Johnson a c**t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Album: Lover - Taylor Swift Song: Hey Ma - Bon Iver/Mother's Daughter - Miley Cyrus (with "swish swish motherfucker" being the lyric of the year) Glastonbury Set: Lizzo Non-Glastonbury Gig: Bon Iver @ Mad Cool Film: Seeing Avengers: Endgame on opening day was a special moment and felt like being part of cinema history, but I thought Joker was an outstanding movie and best overall. TV Show: I'm gonna go full on dweeb and pick AEW Dynamite. Feels like being 10 years old again and watching a better version of Nitro. Book: I don't think I read any new books this year other than the Glastonbury one, so I'd say the best thing I read all year was Gil Scott-Heron's The Last Holiday. Game: (For those who play them) Control eFester of the Year 2019: @Matt42 for his relentless enthusiasm and finally getting a ticket ?

Divein Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I hate these because I have so much trouble remembering what came out this year. Album: Dave - Psychodrama Song: AJ Tracey - Ladbroke Grove Glastonbury Set: Stormzy Non-Glastonbury Gig: The Horrors - Royal Albert Hall Film: There's probably one I'm overlooking but Hotel Mumbai. Can't remember when Green Book came out. TV Show: Darkness: Those Who Kill Book: Mundial Mag - Only think I've read this year, that and United We Stand. Game: (For those who play them) Only play Fifa and that's not getting a shout. eFester of the Year 2019: A joint one @bennyhana22for this unrelenting enthusiasm for Glastonbury and for also making the Dance thread a pleasure to read at all times. And obviously his twitter post yesterday. @dentaIpIan - I always enjoy reading what he has got to say, mainly because he seems to have a good knowledge of everything.

Quark Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Album: Michael Kiwanuka - KIWANUKA (although I continue to change my mind on this almost daily) Song: Sigrid - Don't Feel Like Crying Glastonbury Set: Chemical Brothers. Aside from it being fan-fucking-tastic and being completely off my noodle, it was one of my best mate's first Glastonbury so to be sharing a headline set with him and the others was top dollar. Non-Glastonbury Gig: IDLES @ Brighton Dome Film: Avengers: Endgame TV Show: Taskmaster Season 9 (Baddiel, Brand, Gamble, Matafeo, Wix). First thing in a long time that's consistently had me belly laughing Book: Late to the game, but Anansi Boys - Neil Gaiman Game: (For those who play them) It's an oldie, but downloaded the original Halo: Combat Evolved from Xbox Live. Played that a LOT again eFester of the Year 2019: Going to opt out of a favourite as lots of lovely people on here. However special mentions to everyone I got to see and get drunk with at the meet, and @kingcrawler for somehow remembering a single song I said I liked and reminding me when the whole album came out Edited December 11, 2019 by Quark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
