January 2015 Top 10 At The GTC

“I’m like a Furby. You can push me, and then your soundbite comes out, and there you have your headline. So to clarify, I merely claimed that I popularised the word (grunge), which is pretty much not accurate, considering the distribution of the periodical that I wrote it in. But I like to self-aggrandise.” -Marilyn Manson

Great, the more you know…

The first step in getting 2015 is out of the way and we say goodbye to January and hello to 11 more months of the best music being made by actual artists.
