How’s everybody doing over the holiday break? I’ve rocked the hell out of Viva Piñata and Gears of War on my Xbox. Waiting til Tuesday to throw some of my old vinyl on eBay and make back some of my gift-giving cash. Coalesce vs. Get Up Kids spit 7″ anyone? Yeah, right, like I’d part with that. I spent a few days in Atlantic City where I won around $100 at the Blackjack tables, then lost it all on the last day. Last Sunday saw 70 degree temperatures on the boardwalk! In Mid-December! It was such a strange feeling basking in the sun at this time of year in a T-Shirt, watching women walk around in tank-tops. This isn’t Miami! I’m scared shitless people…scared shitless…

Anyway, it’s occurred to me that I haven’t posted my personal Top 10 Favorite Records of 2006. Next week I’ll post my personal most anticipated of ‘07.
