Memorable 2004

The countdown has started. 2004 is almost over. I don't want to count the chickens before they're hatched, but I've already found twelve personal reasons, why 2004 is a memorable year:

1. Favourite Word: rock. Yeah ms.mac, without shit, you're right about that one.
2. Favourite Country: España. Thank you, Tina, Anigna & Thomas, for dragging me to this amazing place.
3. Favourite Album: Morrissey, you are the Quarry. Especially & still after a trillion times, I'm Not Sorry For gives me goose pimples. This album's led me in a breeze to...
4. Favourite Rediscovery: the oeuvre of The Smiths & Morrissey. How can people talk about comeback. Morrissey has never been away.
5. Favourite Pop Act: beyond the shadow of a doubt Scissor Sisters. Filthy passion has returned to music.
6. Favourite Rock Act: The Libertines. Who would've thought that anything could ever live up to Up the Bracket. The Libertines did it a f*ing second time and they did it even rocking better.
7. Favourite Remixes: Depeche Mode 81...04. The 37 tracks have been occupying my stereo set & iPod (Favourite Toy) for more than a month.
8. Favourite Live Act: The Darkness at Openair St. Gallen. I did shake my boots & backside to a 70s long music loud hair act and I'm not even ashamed of. Justin Hawkins knows how to rock a crowd.
9. Favourite Film: The Raspberry Reich by Bruce LaBruce. Agitprop meets porn. Tops also in the category Favourite Laugh.
10. Favourite Challenge: after 21 years, giving up solitude living on December 31.
11. Favourite Blog: ms.mac's meanderings. Keep meandering, rocking lady.
12. Favourite New Friend: He knows. Guapo, you definitely rock me.
