The lines are closed, the votes are in!

The Best of 2009 poll had a surprisingly big uptake and the votes are counted. A post with the full winners details will follow over the next few days… belated I know. Unsurprisingly however, is the fact that the Best Doncaster band 2009 poll was the best attended with literally some people voting.

2000 – 2009… what happened? No, really, what actually happened in music? Sure plenty of things happened to music (MySpace, the death of independent music labels & shops) but did anything good come of it? . . .

Pearl Jam, Guns and Roses and Kiss reformed, Jacko died, Lo-fi ruled and bands operated their ‘business’ from their laptop – thinking they knew how the fuck to survive in a digital world that allows them to be their own managers/publicists/record producers before imploding as, although they had thirty thousand automated, internet friends nobody came to their gigs. DAMMIT! and damn you Zane Lowe for making them think that it was possible. Roll on the 2010s…
