2007...pour one out for your dead hommies
Here are my Top 10 records of the year. These are the ones I listened to the most. There are probably some that are better, but fuck it. This was the first full year of doing my show, so I played the shit out of these on the air and I also started Djing a lot more around town, so that certainly influenced the list a lot too. Jam on!
10 – The Coathangers – s/t
Girls from Atlanta are bad ass
9 – Rilo Kiley – Under the Black Light
Jenny Lewis is rad…she was in the Wizard

French dudes normally are lame…these dudes aren’t

Girl…why did you get preggers from that douche in the Chemical Bros. They’s gay
