And, in case you were wondering, my top five films of 2004:

1. Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
2. Before Sunset
3. The Incredibles
4. Main Hoon Na
5. Collateral

(There are a few films, like Sideways, Finding Neverland, and so on, that I never got around to seeing, unfortunately)

(an honourable mention for The Motorcycle Diaries, if only because I'll always remember watching it!)

And! Music-related things I'm interested in that are coming next year!

• The Johnny Boy album. I know it can't be as good as You Are The Generation…, but I have to believe.
• The Magic Numbers. Supposedly building up a following from spectacular live performances, they currently only have a 7" single out, Hymn For Her (it's very good), but a full album is coming next year
• New albums from Saint Etienne, New Order, The Flaming Lips, and *whisper* Oasis. Yes, yes, I know, but I still hold out hope they'll come good. Despite all the evidence to the contrary.
