Usual annual WGT band mini-reviews. I do like this starting at the start of the year thing, it gives me a small cheering thing to do at this time of year when I'm over-peopled and appreciate being able to hide in data entry.

Declared prejudices: I generally like goth, punk/horrorpunk/psychobilly, 80s, pirates, and the near end of metal, electronica, EBM, industrial. Also weirdo up-itself French/Spanish noodling with drums, for some reason I cannot adequately explain.

I generally do not like folk/mittelalter, indie, noise, the noisy end of electronica &c., the beepy/clubby ends of electronica &c., the washing-machine/sore-throat/hit-it-as-fast-as-you-can ends of metal. So if you like those things, take my reviews with a pinch of salt and listen to the bands anyway. (Also while I generally like classical, it's not what I go to WGT for, so I tend to skim over classical artists.)

And now they've announced Coppelius, the other band at the top of my list! My festival is complete already :-)

This year I am going with peoples! Hence the addition of links to music so they don't all have to reinvent the wheel.

WGT have rather excitingly announced their first bands earlier than usual, and the list includes Biomekkanik, who are about at the top of my list of bands I want to see live again. \o/

This year's WGT list just keeps getting better. Diorama, Euzen, and now rumours of Front 242!

WGT band reviews coming on: http://ceb.dreamwidth.org/214519.html

I've been finding a lot of good ones, especially today. Very few easy-to-review noise/techno/pointless noodling bands. Maybe they will all appear in a giant indigestible lump near the end? Or perhaps it's just the cheering effects of hot-chocolate-and-rum.

(Also I have finally learnt from past data-entry mistakes and used = as my separator not - . Go me! No bands are allowed a = in their names this year.)

*excitement*

...while I'm on the subject, I'm trying to persuade some people that they want to come to WGT next year. Might you be one of them? I will post nearer the time (need to decide October-ish) but in the meantime, have a think about it...

Re-dyed for exams (tomorrow, eek!) - this is actually a bit purpler than it came out last time.



Proper catch-up when exams are done...
