So, it’s only been 2007 for 12 hours, but I feel like this isn’t going to be my year. Call it a forboding of evil. We woke up at 7:00 this morning because one of our bedroom windows is leaking, just days after our radiator threw up radiator water all over our floor, forcing me to obtain a second copy of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Two voicemails and five hours later and our super still shows no signs of caring. Super. Finally, our cheer-up waffles were tough and soggy, and I dropped mine *apple butter side down* on the chair.

So having concluded that this year is a lost cause, I thought I would recap my top 10 CDs of 2006. I wouldn’t be surprised if I lose an arm or get attacked by bears this year - possibly both, as bears often have an appetite for arms. But no matter how many times the super ignores my calls, there should at least be some good music. So let’s take a look at last year’s list, shall we?
