5 is Gaslight Anthem - Navesink Banks.
Fuck it, might as well add another list.
1: This sound is so romantic (let's tear it up!)
2: Before you say a word, before you turn away
3: You've got me stuck on repeat
4: Outside my window I see trouble
5: If you leave I'll be right behind you
6: She's walking around, she's got her headphones on
7: When Jack was born he winked at mom
8: I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house
9: Somebody tell me how to get to Saint Maria
10: You think that we connect
Some of those are well easy. :/

Yeah, my top 7 is fairly solid, but for 8, 9 and 10, I was thinking of the fanny.
If I wasn't, AWS and Hot Water Music would definitely be in there somewhere. I had loads of candidates for the last few spots, it was well hard to narrow it down.

1: Strung Out
2: The Gaslight Anthem
3: Frank Turner
4: Dropkick Murphys
5: Bruce Springsteen
6: The Prodigy
7: The Low Anthem
8: Little Boots
9: Slow Club

I have seen 9/10 of these in the past 12 months, 7/10 at Glastonbury. Not bad at all. Though I had to do dark, dark things to see Frank Turner... It involved travelling to Middlesbrough.

Frankie Boyle has quit current affairs satirical quiz show Mock The Week after seven series.
According to a statement from the BBC, the acerbic team captain has left to 'concentrate on other TV commitments' just a week after he missed filming the show for the first time, reportedly because of an undisclosed illness.
The news come as it was confirmed that the show has been recommissioned for two more series by BBC Two.
BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow said: "Mock The Week is a major part of the BBC Two schedule, regularly delivering wit and energy to an enthusiastic audience.
"This two series commitment shows just how much we value it."
Angst Productions series producer Dan Patterson meanwhile released a statement saying: "Frankie has been a brilliant member of the team since the beginning and the door is always open for him to come back. We wish him all the best with his other projects."

So Wikipedia has it listed for UFC 108 on Jan 2nd that Wanderlei Silva is fighting Yoshihiro Akiyama. Is there any substance to that at all? I haven't heard anything about it till now. Seems to me that if it does take place they're pushing for a credible win for Wanderlei to get him in with Anderson Silva.
Best I can tell from a quick search, one of the Bloody Elbow guys heard a rumour about it, and that qualifies as fact on Wikipedia these days.

I suppose you could consider Kid Cudi alternative hip-hop so I'd recommend him.
After listening to A Kid Named Cudi, no. Just no. Wale's "Mixtape About Nothing", however, is essential listening. Though whether either of them could be considered "alternative" hip-hop is debatable.
This has been pimped so far only by me, and to no response, so I will repimp with the aid of capitals.
NEW LE SAC VS PIP.
GLASTONBURY.
I WAS THERE.
KEITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
IT WAS FUCKING BRILLIANT.
not gonna lie, I spent half that set trying to figure out who was Keith.

I have to say, Weatherbox disappointed me, since you’ve hyped them so much for ages. But, that’s 4/5 bands I’d never heard of before that I need to go check out pretty much immediately, so not a bad Gaylist. Pales in comparison to the first one of the year, which is still the best Gaylist ever (special/coverlists excluded). And has just reminded me that I missed Two Door Cinema Club tonight, fuck. Oh well, they’re playing a free gig on the 23rd, I’ll live until then.

Why Rios? Academy and both unions, and fuck, even Cockpit are well closer to me. Still, I'll likely be there.

Black Crosses, Carcrashradio and Andy Warhol are my favourites at the minute. I need to track down Vanity.

Confirming signup.

Yeah, I'll do it.
...or not.

Frankmusik - Complete Me
Because I want to see how you review someone you pimped heavily after all the best bits were removed in the studio.

Quick heads up for MEG and deangelo. I'm moving today. I should get internet straight away and be back on tonight, if Unipol is to be believed. However, if I haven't logged in by Wednesday night, feel free to replace me.
EDIT: Disregard, housing lived up to its promise.

Right, I was holding out for Pitchfork Mafia, but there's no fucking way I'm missing out on an Earl mafia. Fuck, you can give me Willie The One Eyed Mailman and I'll still be fucking up for it.

Ross Walker'd?
None of my games were archived. :/
Miserable failures, yes, but never archived.

With the way he drove the Reasonably Priced Car, I can't see Schumacher ever being competitive in racing again.

Is that Emelda Vain? (sp?)
Wow.
Though to be honest thats a god awful pic of Ginny. I honestly don't think she's half bad in the films
No, it's Marina Diamond.

Anyone on PS3, TheRossWalker
If you ever catch me online, always up for a fight unless I'm already in one.

This is why I quit mafia until Pitchfork. Too much of claimfests and metagaming. People before MEG should hurry the fuck up.

JeremyBorashBrock is a strong heel. Take it from yours truly... Minnesotans are tough. Might try some MMA. I could destroy that nerdy Bruce Buffer.
This needs to happen.

Close enough - it's the cover by the mighty, mighty Four Year Strong.
Clue time!
1: Blackpool based pop-punk band, lead guitarist died last year.
4: The artist topped YI's 2008 Best Albums list, this is from the follow-up.
5: Long-running Californian punk band, singer recently left.
7: YI basically had it, anyone wanna give the correct song title?
Eagerly awaiting YI coming in here and kicking himself, I'm surprised he didn't get all ten straight away. I'm shit at giving clues, so they're all well obvious, you should at least get the bands.
