2018.. 



The world awaits.
Applause great effort
Best thing I've been called online in 2017: a keyboard warrior troll, by a wanker who does not know hardship.
Hatsoff 


I mean for real tho, why is the kebab smiley sad?  it looks like a turd on a weigh scale and some sad smiley taking a light saber to it.  I need a back story.   What gives??
Kebab eating should be cherished. Arabian food is delicious, and Great Britain is full of good kebab houses.






Definitely adding to my "Top Halogenix tune of the year"  file.   


So good.
So we did indeed have 3 main 2017 charts, as predicted.
But this chart project is open to retrospect entries!
It's about that time again - middle of Summer 2018 -to start wok-working new entries into this thread from I at the very least.
For now I'll give you some categories of my list to ponder over (feel free to make your own)..

Track of 2018: Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces (1974)
or Boards Of Canada - Peacock Tail (The Campfire Headphase, 2005)
Or Alison Moyet - Love Resurrection

List cast-offs

The Sun shines constantly in the United Kingdom Malaga airport in May.
I was there end of April-middle May, all agreed, and had a time which felt like 20 years of pure heaven.
Memory threads infinite joy busting from that magnificent relay of adventure, relapse, rest and rural idyll.
