Plotting

So the last couple of days have been pretty quiet along these fronts, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything. This past weekend, I committed myself to sitting down and giving all of the 2007 contenders one final quality listen. I think I have my Top 10 and I hope to unveil it within the next couple of days. Also, I've put together my favorite tracks of the year -- there were so many that it looks like this will be a 2 - CD set. Hopefully I'll have that aboard within a few days as well.

Those crazy Europeans and their crazy t-shirt designs.

In the meantime, I stepped out last night with a few cohorts to check out Peter Bjorn & John up at Bogart's. I will readily admit that I knew very little about PB&J before yesterday and, well, thanks to many a beers, I'm still not too familiar with them. I did spend much of yesterday familiarizing myself with their 2007 release, Writer's Block. Although it will not be making my Top 10, there is some pretty decent stuff going on here. I find them at their finest in songs like Object of My Affection, with the fuzzy guitar and catchy hooks.

Here's another song. Great success!

Weak blog, I know. Good songs though so fuck off.
