The Damn Best of 2007 List

I wasn’t really going to do one of these, but basically had done most of the pieces elsewhere, so I’ve compiled it all here.

Five Comics or Comics-Related Publications You Enjoyed Reading This Year (originally on The Comics Reporter)
* Scott Pilgrim, Vol 4: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together - Bryan Lee O’Malley
* Daybreak Vol. 2 - Brian Ralph
* The Escapists by Brian K Vaughan & company
* UnInked edited by Chris Ware (Scroll way the heck down the page)
* The Comics Journal 285 - the Darwyn Cooke Interview

Top five tracks that came out in 2007 after I’d already done my Festive Fifty List (Artist links are home pages, song links are videos)
Friendly Fires - Paris
Malcolm Middleton - We’re All Gonna Die
The Octopus Project - Ghost Moves
Ebony Bones - We Know All About You
Black Kids - I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You

Web Comics I Actually read every day (originally on BKV.tv… updated)
Scary Go Round by John Allison - updated 5 days a week - full 5 year archive online!
American Elf by James Kochalka - usually updated daily
Daybreak by Brian Ralph - more or less bi-weekly (search the archives)
Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson (I think this is an actual comic strip)
And I just started reading We The Robots… pretty good so far.

OK… that’s it. There was also favorite TV, food, moments, etc. this last year, but those are a bit more easy to come by, especially as top 5 categories go, and I am here primarily to promote music and comics… so there you go.
