These Pages Are Crisp

I am keeping my list of my favorite albums of 2007 (so far) right here. The blogs are neat on AP, and I actually update this one (as opposed to Cobwebs, my inconsistent Blogspot) so I figured this would be the best place to keep my list. Plus, RateYourMusic is fucking lame and horrible to navigate, so I'm switching back to what I know. I am not numbering them for now because I feel like that's too confining. A good bunch of these may be scratched during crunch time, but for now, they all have a fighting chance. And when the time comes (and it's coming sooner than I thought), I'll be at least partially prepared. There's a lot more too, I just need to put more thought into it. Additionally, I need to listen to the new Stars, the new MTB and a couple others. I have a feeling they'll be on there too once I listen. SA, JEW, and mpPA will make it too, I'm guessing. As for Straylight Run ... I take back anything nasty I said about them in the past. I never gave them a fighting chance, and that's miserable because The Needles The Space is really good.
