So it's the end of 2006 and with that comes our year-end wrap up, which has become a bit of a bore for everyone involved. Still, we look forward to reading all the hatemail we get for omitting any given life-changing music release or putting a band undeservingly below a lesser one. So in the next few weeks we'll try to remember the year that once was and post a thoroughly unentertaining recap. Until then, you can check out our silly list from last year or better yet read what our favorite locals loved in 2006. Of course, we'll post all the responses we got over the next few weeks so that it looks like we update a lot. Enjoy.
