"It is so wrong...to want more than what is given to you?" Hrm. Thought for the day. [EDIT: The Philadelphia Inquirer liked it, too. Liked it muchly.]
I probably listened to more music than ever this year, owing to a combination of factors. Great work, great connections, great friends, etc. Some of the songs themselves were even great. Anyhow, I'll post my top albums list soon, but in typical fashion here's the list of my favourite singles of 2007:

Last night was Bloc Party at the Congress Theater. The place was huge. I mean, it is one of the largest venues I've ever been in. It was a very old theater that had all the old floor seats removed. There was also a balcony that wrapped around 3/4 of the floor section. The place has faded from i... MORE
Those of you that have been to my MOG in the past will know I get a bit obsessive with songs on occasion. Well, it's happened again. This time, it's a catchy pop tune from Bloc Party's latest release, A Weekend In The City. The track currently on high rotation on Radio Foraggio is Kreuzberg.

Good job guys. Falling more in love with this album every time I listen to it. Sunday is just a beautiful song along with the rest. Places a comfortable smile on me.
