In honor of New Year, I was going to write about my top five or ten favorite somethings. I choose music, so I launched iTunes and created a quick smart playlist to see what I’d bought in 2007. I was disappointed to count only nine albums and an assortment of individual tracks, two CDs of which are Christmas music. So it would seem 2007 was a dismal year for music. I know some of what I purchased last year was older music, and now I see that it was because there wasn’t anything new that I was interested in.

Here’s to a better year for music in 2008.
