Highlight Of The Decade

A few that come to mind of the many, many - Kendrick Lamar, Swans, Autechre and Laurie Anderson at Dark Mofo, Amon Tobin's ISAM Live, Radiohead's and Paul McCartney's Aus tours (finally!), Paul Stamets, David Attenborough's Planet Earth II, the return of Twin Peaks, and Bowie's mystical farewell Blackstar. Surely there were a few great sunrises etc in there somewhere too!

Prediction For Next Decade

Mycology, wombats and awakenings! (Or in the words of Beyoncé, "to the left, to the left".)
