End of the decade  #

If I'm to believe the media, it is coming to the end of another decade.

At the end of this year I'll have been "blogging" for nine and a half years, almost the entire 2000-2009 decade... whatever you want to call it (naughties, ooies, 20-ohs).

I suppose tradition dictates I should start creating top-10 lists. Best bands of the decade. Best albums.

Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

I'm leaning more toward documenting, discussing, editorialising the various careers of the bands I follow(ed) in this decade. Weezer, Regurgitator, Powderfinger, The Whitlams, Apocalyptica, Metallica, Faith No More, Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle. The bands I would call myself a "fan" of.

Perhaps I'll discuss the bands/musicians I've become a fan of in this decade: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Tori Amos?

If I find the time.
