so - got together with the boys this weekend to round up the records and put 2006 to bed. i'm proud of us, we didn't get to it last year until April... 
it's always a great evening of sharing music and stories from the past year as the volume gets louder and the empties pile up - but the nuts and bolts is the year-end list everyone brings, so here's mine for those that are interested...
note that this is not an objective "Best Of" list, but rather a list of the records that were the most important to me as i got up every day and put one foot in front of the other... you should tell me what some of yours were.
