HIGH-VISIBILITY IMBECILITY

What, with posterity, will be seen as great about 2005:
  1. Arrested Development - So that's what TV3 is for!
  2. Jamie Lidell - Like Jamiroquai only, y'know, not shit.
  3. Danger Mouse
  4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Robert Downey Jr.! And Val Kilmer! Together at last! In a movie! That's actually in cinemas!
  5. Geoff Dyer
  6. 'Hung Up' - 'I hate this song!' 'No, wait, I love this song!' 'No. No, I hate this song.' 'Actually no. No, I love this song.'
  7. Mysterious Skin
  8. The Electric Picnic - At last an Irish music festival that isn't blighted by the rotating roster of rot that is MundyFramesCasey.
  9. 'Don't Cha?' - Yes. Yes, I do.

Comments:
Bestie death watch was definetly the lowest of the low points of the year. I don't know whats cooler Don't Cha the song or the fact it has its own Wikipedia article.
Hung Up, what the hell is that doing there, the corpse bride's mother sythesised death rattle!
