Yes, folks, it's that time of the year again, where we get bombarded with everyone's best-of-the-year lists. This year, mine will be provided in parts. I had a hard time deciding the Album of the Year, so, there will be several, picked by genre. I will also write about favorite shows, books, and other tidbits. I also have an Entertainer of the Year award to hand out (it's nothing fancy, unlike an Oscar or an Emmy). Finally, we will close the Disciplinarian Actions Year in Review with an award going out to a whole gaggle of punk dumb ass thugs for being a collective ASSHOLE(S) of the Year. More on that forthcoming.
In the meantime, I am going to list my favorite albums of the year here, but they are not in any sort of order, nor will I reveal the elite records quite yet. So, take a guess as to what I will crown the best of the year. Stay tuned.
