Rocket Mick 
Hearing Krafty for the first time. Waiting For The Sirens' Call. Best album this year. Meeting Al and DoN and getting the pin at the Apollo.
Big thanks to all the gifts that have been sent my way especially to Rocket, JT, Mr Discography and Twister. Old M for sharing the groove. Is the burner fixed yet?
Spotnick, Wen and Seb (where's he gone?) for a great site and the nutters who make me laugh with their musings.
Biggest highlight? New Order still being around.
This was the year in which I bought every proper New Order album, having bought substance at the start of 2004 (simply because it had true faith on it) it took me over six months to appreciate the songs on it other than Blue Monday and True Faith. Then on the advice of a couple of real ale twats I bought technique, followed by PCL, which took a bit longer to get into. Then bought republic, followed by WFTSC in September, Brotherhood from some place in Rotterdam on my way back from Germany then GR and LL in November. Completed my album collection on Wednesday buying Movement in Leeds. Maybe it's because I now read/listen/watch anything NO related on TV, or maybe it's a coincidence, but they do seem to be getting more media coverage. My wax in interest came just before Glasto- Temptation was the best song of the weekend. T was shit though.
In a year when Flowers is one of the biggest faces in music- I share his two main favourites. Oasis and NO without even knowing until a few months back.
Been thinking about this and it seems like a year of highlights. It's been a brilliant year NO-wise, wonderful to see them turning up everywhere. Seeing them live at Brixton and Manchester was the best way to round out 2005. Also gave me the chance to meet some of you good folks! :)
The new album was the hilight of 2005 for me. Just to hear a whole CD worth of new material. That rocked. I want the next album. :( Sooner. NO is like a crack addiction. lol
