Best news:

Updating my iPhone and not being met with a free U2 album.

Worst news:

The tragedy of the Bataclan attacks. I had seen Eagles of Death Metal two nights beforehand, having the time of their lives onstage. And I had been at a gig the night of the event in question. Stuff like that really hits home.

Things to look forward to in 2016:

Twisted Sister at Bloodstock, The Virginmarys’ new album and tour, finally seeing Motörhead (Lemmy’s health permitting), those Guns N’ Roses rumours to finally die off (not likely but still more likely than the event itself), The Temperance Movement’s new album and subsequent tour.
