Oh, and many apologies for the sudden absence of updates. I've been hella busy putting together a bunch of stuff for the Weekly's year-end issue before heading to Minneapolis this weekend. I imagine I'll be updating more while on vacation than I have been while chained to a desk. O, the irony. But the year-end stuff looks good, and I'm very pleased with how my idea for it has been executed by the folks who are participating. (Hint: No top-ten albums lists. In fact, no albums at all.)
