RE: My Favourite Things of 2018

in #movies6 years ago

I got the impression that The Impression That I Get — which you got from a mighty impressive TV show that didn't suck — would have impressed you enough to get on your Most Impressive list of 2018. I got impressed by that mighty mighty track an impressive 20 years ago.

Definitely a fan of some of the other tunes in your Spotify playlist too. Of your TV list, I can vouch for Everything Sucks. Also looking forward to new Black Mirror, and will one day get around to Silicon Valley.

Couldn't find much to like from your fave YouTube channels and podcasts. Well, aside from LinusTech and MKBHD. Ars Technica piss all over The Verge, and VICE are nothing but clickbait these days.

As for your news websites, TorrentFreak have a well deserved spot. Crikey also publish some decent material, but are sadly behind a paywall. It's suspicious to see The Age — which have become a shadow of their former selves — at #2, as I thought you were of the belief they had now jumped the shark.

New Matilda, Independent Australia and Michael West may be reading this wondering who paid you off to exclude quality journalism from your list. Also looks like your love affair with Guardian Australia has come to an end, while The Intercept appear unlucky to miss out.

Huge fan of many of your fave apps, with a special mention to Pocket Casts, Spotify, LastPass, Telegram, SABnzbd and Sonarr. Poor form excluding Firefox in favour of Chrome though.

In summary, interesting reading!

Thanks for reading the article.

Everything Sucks! and The Impression That I Get are just wonderful.

Thanks for listening to some of my favourite songs of the year. Not too many new tunes. I tried voting in the triple J Hottest 100 but only recognised 7 songs. Must be getting old. Haha. I know you experience this too.

Each to their own news site I suppose. As for The Age we'll see how they fare in 2019 under Nine. And no I'm not an XYZ man these days. Although I do read one particular columnist.

Thought you'd enjoy my apps list. I only really include what I use the most and unfortunately for Firefox I just don't open it enough.

Thanks man!
