Nobody knows why

BEST ... OF THE YEAR

Album: The unhurried, uncompromised art of Kate Bush is always worth the wait. "50 Words For Snow" is uniquely gorgeous.

Book: Ernest Cline's cyberspatial hunt for '80s anorak treasure (with a touch of Willy Wonka), "Ready Player One".

Film: Traveller boxing documentary "Knuckle", pieced together over 12 bloody feud-filled years by Ian Palmer.

Graphic novel: Quirky Asian-American yarn of duty vs. digital dreams "Level Up", by Gene Luen Yang and Thien Pham.

Live event: UFC 127 at Acer Arena (now known as Allphones Arena). It didn't hurt that I was seated Octagon-side!

TV: The perfectly cast adaptation of GRRM's "Game Of Thrones" by a thousand leagues. Roll on April and Season 2.

Videogame: "El Shaddai - Ascension Of The Metatron" on the PS3 entertained me longer than the rest, if that's any guide.
