My Tops - 2007
It is the end of the year and although I feel that this year has been hellish for me, I have to say that in music it has been a myriad of good discoveries. So, like all other magazines I felt that I needed to list my top 10 albums of 2007 and some other fun stuff. Still waiting for the revolution to take place but think we are on the verge. If we can complete the assasintation of Fall Out Boy and Panic At the Disco, we will be closer to achieving the goal of creating real music for real people. Boys, put the tight pants away because what's going to take place in the coming year I predict will be an onslaught of sound which will be worthy of a decent wardrobe.
