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.

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

The Octopus Project – Ghost Moves

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.
