Best of the year lists for some categories (i.e., those that are big enough to warrant them) forthcoming.
And before I go, a word on my record reviews, if any of y'all are interested:
I think I'm just going to start posting links to songs when the fancy strikes me as opposed to talking about whole albums and then posting one or two songs. I feel like this gives a better depiction of my music-listening process, plus I'm a little burned out on feeling obligated to write as much as I do every time I get done with a batch of CDs- especially now that I'm working. I'm guessing no one is going to be devastated by this, I just felt like sharing. I've heard tell of people using LJ for such.
Happy New Year, all. If I don't return before this weekend, I'm off to a number of shenanigans before I start at Pixar.
