Best And Worst Albums of 2006

[C-Game]

Sadly, we will be going out with a relative whimper and not the bang that I had initially intended. On Wednesday night, a good friend came to town, fresh off three months in the Dominican Republic and then Botswana. As he leaves today, four more friends will be arriving to ring in the new year with champagne, vomit, and lots of yelling during the Rose Bowl.

Until blogging becomes my livelihood (which is not likely to actually ever happen), I think it's only wise to choose real life over the synthetic, and as a result, I just haven't had time to make this the thorough post I wanted it to be. I apologize. Instead, help yourselves to some more music-related lists--this time, it's all about albums, but sadly, without annotation--and let's use the comments section to bullshit back and forth.
