   • For all the list haters...
     
     As the year end approaches and after another great gig last night I thought I'd have a look through the gigs I've been to in 2008 on last.fm and pick out the best.
     
     In no particular order:
     
     - Airbourne at the Oxford Zodiac in February. Loudest gig ever.
     - Kerbdog at Camden Barfly in August for nostalgia and awesomeness.
     - Torche in Camden with Pelican. Amazing.
     - Torche in Oxford with Isis. Equally amazing.
     - Brant Bjork & The Bros w/ Suns of Thunder in Camden and Southampton. Both equally great. BB gets better every time I see him.
     - Extreme at Southampton Guildhall. Only great show I've ever seen at this shit venue.
     - The Night Marchers at Bristol Cooler. Having seen them a few days before in Oxford, I enjoyed it more in Bristol as I knew a few songs!
     - Ninehertz alldayer. Great day out and Gentlemans Pistols were the perfect end.
     - ROADBURN. So many great performances but it was Earthless that really stood out for me.
