With a mammoth year coming to a close it's only right that I present a mammoth Behind The Lines! Personally, I experienced a lot of amazing things this year including The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics right outside my window. DLBN had its 10 year anniversary where we managed to pull off hosting a virtual prog rock festival in celebration of the event. Plus there was the travelling - trips to Hawaii, Desolation Sound, the UK, and to New York where I saw Transatlantic play live! This was a year I will remember for a long time to come. It was a great one which also had some great releases - do join me as we explore some of the best ones!

Once upon a time there was a lonely bit (a 1 for anyone curious). This bit found itself, somewhat inexplicably to its way of thinking, hurtling through time and space through a tubular structure to a mysterious destination far away and unknown. As it passed through the lands of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, if finally found itself headed at break neck speeds towards Quebec (even though it had no neck and spoke no French). The lonely bit had had had quite enough of this unnerving and overwhelming voyage so by the time it hit Montreal it was ready for a stiff drink, except didn’t know about drinks thus was forced to be content with the feeling of relief that accompanied the apparent end of this emotionally overwhelming ordeal. With said assumption fresh in its little bit mind, the shock it felt when it found out that a strange box in Montreal just copied it thousands of times over and over again was immense! Before the bit could say 0 it found itself copied many times and thrown in succession with many other similar yet slightly different bits to all corners of the globe. And all the bits, no longer lonely since they now had each other for company within the great tubular structures, flowed into many computers and into mobile devices. They all now knew the nature of these devices with their newly found collective knowledge. And the previously lonely bit now with all its brothers and sisters, finally found its journey to be over and even now is resting comfortably within the neurons of your brain.
