My favorite new album:

Neil Young's "Living With War" By far the best musical commentary on America this year. He's got more guts, more sense, and more passion than all the whiny twenty-somthing hipster rockers of 2006 put together. Three grammy nominations can't be wrong, can they? Oh, wait...


I also just picked up Under The Influence of Giant's self-titled debut. Looks like disco might be back! I was always a little sad that I was only knee-high to a grasshopper the first time around.

Musician I had a secret crush on this year:

Mindy Smith



My musical guilty pleasure (or, music I don't listen to in front of my friends):

Country. I have two country stations programmed on my VW van's radio. I get confused sometimes...Is it "whiskey for my van, and oil for my horses," or "beer for my men, and horses for my van," or just, "whiskey for everybody!?"


Best concert I saw this year:

The Samples at Chop Suey in Seattle.




Favorite movie of 2006:

Borat - Haven't laughed so hard in months. I'm giggling to myself about it right now, in fact.



Favorite TV show:

Don't have a tv, but I never miss Lost on the web.


Most overhyped celebrity of 2006:

Almost all of 'em. No need to hype them more.


Most underrated celebrity of 2006:

Steve.

One person I really wish would just go away:

Any of the little Bushies


My New Year's Resolution:

I'm getting a boob job.
