At this piont just about every year, it gets down to crunchtime where I start feeling like no matter how many albums I've heard this year, it's hard to really feel like I've heard enough that was really that good. And in less than a month some deadlines for critic's polls will be creeping up, and I'll be scrambling to hear more and come up with a list I'm less apologetic or hesitant about. This time it's particularly exacerbated by the fact that I've been broke and jobless for most of the year, and just started working again, so in the next week or two I'll finally have expendable income to spend on as many CD's as I want and will catch up on some of the 'bigger'/more obvious albums that I feel like I need to hear, since I've spent most of the year writing about somewhat obscure and unpopular stuff and keeping close tabs on pet artists. I'll probably do what I did last year and post the 'final' list here as late in December as possible. Singles are a lot easier to list, as far as finding stuff I like. The hard part is the short term memory of the singles market, and my fickle tastes, which mean that a song I loved in the Spring that wasn't such a big hit that I still hear it once a week has just kind of slipped out of my mind by default. Although I think I'm better about remembering stuff from the first half of the year than a lot of people. But for the time being, not much new since August.
