    Saturday, December 1, 2007
    Holy Spicoli, is it December already? It's been an exciting, interesting, and sometimes hard year. What started off in one direction twisted and turned in ways I would not have expected a year ago. Things change, people change...yet things remain the same. Like the fact I still love music, for one.

    Sadly to say, I spent too much time not writing about music in 2007, and I am not happy about that. This is due to reasons not important and not your concern; health played a large part in this. Unfortunately, I haven't talked about several of my favorite records. For December, I am going to talk about a few older records, a few newer records, all of which have one thing in common: I like them. That's my only criterion for my content. I am going to eschew the ubiquitous 'end of the year' list, because every record I talk about is, in my opinion, worthy of being on that list. It is not my intention to short shrift said records, though; I just don't think I could conclude 2007 without telling you about the wonderful music of Monahans, Utah Carroll, The One AM Radio, The Chrysler, Ryan Groff, or Julia Kent? I can't do that. So expect a bit more in the next few weeks.

    So I hope you enjoy this month's "look back/look forward" format. If you happen to be familiar with these records, I apologize in advance. I do hope, though, that you enjoy the music...that's the only reason I do this.
