My top 10 albums...of 2008
While everyone else has been churning out their 2009 top tens, I thought I would post a top ten with a little bit of a difference and go back in time slightly as I never managed to get this published at the start of last year. Please let me know what you think, enjoy.
1) Trivium - Shogun
After being accused (more than ever) of trying to sound too much like "Trivtallica" on 2006's The Crusade, Shogun is somewhat more of a return to Ascendancy territory, but the complexity and fierci....

Pay For Content? We need oyster card for online payment (or one touch shopping)
(First off, I will apologise if this is retreading old ground, I have not read anything on this subject and want to see if anyone else has similar opinions or other ideas).
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the concept of paying for content and various websites (namely those operated and owned by Rupert Murdoch) starting to charge for full access to their website content, either through subscription models or one time usage charges.

2010 - The Year of Rocksins?
Before anything else, I'd just like to say happy new year to anyone who reads this with this being the first post on My Sweet Shadow of 2010.

I just wanted to draw attention to a couple of posts I have written on there recently.....
2009 - A Year In Review
As we are entering the last day of 2009, it's made me think about everything that's happened this year. 2008 for various reasons was a bit of a crappy year, but looking back on 2009, 2009 has been the best year of my whole life. Here's a brief rundown of what made 2009 so damn cool.
10. Christmas
I'm very much a Christmassy person and do love the festive season (not to be confused with the festival season, more on that later) unlike some of my friends who bear something of a resemblance to....
Lostprophets in Kentish Town review - Better Late Than Never!
Having been a Lostprophets fan since day 1, receiving The Fake Sound of Progress from Dave for my 15th birthday, a chance to see them perform at a Q Awards gig at a venue a fair bit smaller than what they usually play these days was too good to pass up.
The evening opened up with The New 1920, one of the newest from the bunch of bands of the Welsh rock/emo/metal invasion of recent years. They were a decent enough band, with some nice riffs in places, but the vocals didn't really seem to fit ....
