The 20 '06 Appendix
In case you didn't get here from there, here's a link to my article about my 20 '06 mix, 20 songs from my 20 favorite albums, local and national, of '06. This here's the appendix, and some fancily pantsed stuff that links you to the mix, I hope:

Nice list steve. Has that mouthful of bees record actually been released yet? Are you and Afternoon records in some sort of exclusive arrangement? I mean three out of 10 records?
Suspicious. Im watching you.

yes, i'm ian anderson's bitch. not actually. haley's record had earned its spot on there before it came out on afternoon records, so that's just their good taste, and i feel somewhat the same with mouthful of bees; they put out their record themselves before afternoon records re-issued it.
interviewed and saw them tonight (bees), btw. they've got something. i can't put my finger on it, but i better figure it out before tuesday, i suppose.
