how's that for suspense and/or plot twists? yeah, it's pretty sweet. definitely not laziness.


HERE'S THE DEAL: qualler's nerdbox crashed a while back and he has no more list. i still do. he may or may not share what he remembers sometime in the future.

WHAT THAT MEANS TO YOU, THE READER: enjoy a hurried, uber-belated rundown of my top 30 songs from last year. (i hope you remember how you can get these songs from me).
