Yeah alright, I know I had a go at it last week, but this is just my top moment of 2012, not a list of all the banal things I’ve done over the course of a year.

Best moment of 2012? Hearing those opening chords of Born To Run at Sunderland.

That first moment he walked onto stage was up there, but nothing compares to hearing that intro, live. It’s the song I associate with some of my best times at uni, and the ideology that better times lie ahead.

One of my favourite songs of all time, and one of the best songs ever written.

‘Tramps like us.’

My dad knows me too well. 

There was also a coat, which I like a lot, but I forgot to include it in this photo.

Anyway, he gets 10/10.

SO. FUCKING. EXCITED.

London and Glasgow, two opposite ends of the UK in the space of 3 days.

TRAMPS LIKE US

Fucking come on!

BADLANDS, YOU GOTTA LIVE EM EVERYDAY, LET THE BROKEN HEARTS STAND AS THE PRICE YOU GOTTA PAY!

My 2013 (planned) concerts now line up as: Bastille, The Gaslight Anthem, Bruce Springsteen x2, Rihanna.

Thank you, bellend who punched me in the face, you’re going to have funded a lot of great times.

There’s rumours that Bruce is going to tour again in 2013 and in Europe and Germany has a date announced, sweet lord he better come to England. I will go to every gig.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE

Absolute perfection.

Wish I had a car so I could drive all night.

Also wish I had someone to drive all night for.

Ok, so here’s my setlist for my ideal Bruce show. In roughly this order, here’s 30 songs. It’d be epic.

1. Badlands
2. No Surrender
3. Bobby Jean
4. The Promised Land
5. For You (Solo Acoustic)
6. Prove It All Night
7. Wrecking Ball
8. Spirit In The Night
9. Waiting On A Sunny Day
10. Darkness On The Edge Of Town
11. Backstreets
12. I’m On Fire
13. Land Of Hope And Dreams
14. Ain’t Good Enough For You
15. Lost In The Flood
16. Out In The Street
17. The River
18. Jungleland
19. Death To My Hometown
20. If I Should Fall Behind
21. The Rising

28. Dancing In The Dark
29. Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
30. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)

Verdicts? Thoughts?

Thoughts are with all those who lost their family on 9/11.

So hungover. Food is needed.

(Bruce tour top)

Think how amazing it would have been if he had sang those last words as “Tonight, in Sun… Der… Land…”

THAT’S THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

Wasted opportunity. 

Serena Ryder - Racing In The Street (Bruce Springsteen cover)

I really like this version. My favourite is the 78 version on The Promise, but I think she does well.

Fucking hell Philadelphia, I’m jealous.
