My life of live: 5/12/2004 - 7/11/2010

Nothing makes me feel they way I do when I'm clutching a barrier, inhaling a sweaty man's back hair or screaming so loud I fear my throat will impale. Which is understandable, really. At it's best it feels euphoric to me and at it's worst it just makes me feel.. good.

I've been meaning to do this for a while - a list like this is far too geeky to
be left alone in Word. Here's every band worth a mention that I've witnessed in the past six years.
