only you could set my fears at rest

drumroll

ladies and gentlemen, i give you... the first annual justin likey in 2003 awards. shout outs to my favorites of this past year.

so here we go.

  • best album of the year: How To Start A Fire - Further Seems Forever. not an overly long album, but long enough. it gets its point across well - and i LOVE listening to it. my mood or whatever genre i'm feeling like that particular day is irrelevant - i always enjoy listening to this, and i can pick it up at any point in the album, any second of any song, and just dig. that's rare for me. and it always makes me think, and think about something different every time, and usually about aspects of relationships i have. i like that.

    runners up: Who We Are Instead by Jars Of Clay, Sing The Sorrow by AFI, De-loused In The Comatorium by The Mars Volta.

  • best song of the year: The Sound - Further Seems Forever. i find myself singing parts of this song to myself at least once a day. every time it comes on the pod or on a stream i'm listening to, i have to listen to it at least three times. i'm still waiting, i'm still waiting, for your graaaaaaaaaaace... gives me chills :)

    runners up: Trouble Is by Jars Of Clay, This Celluloid Dream by AFI.

  • best movie of the year: Return Of The King. needs no explanation. i haven't even seen it yet and i know. the greatest work of fiction ever concieved.

    runners up: Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Recruit.

  • best tv show: Smallville Season 3. kept me on edge for months, with more-risky-than-before storylines. they're finally doing it right, IMHO.

    runners up: ST: Enterprise, Mythbusters, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (which would have been the winner were it longer)

  • best video game: Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. not only is it a Zelda game, you sail. the cel shading ended up rocking, swordfighting Ganon in the end was amazing... things were just cool, they just worked out perfectly in this game. Miyamoto's a genius.

    runners up: Metroid Prime, Crimson Skies.
i bet everyone on the internet has been waiting in anticipation for that list for weeks. i'm happy to oblige. :)
