I don't know if I can pick one. If I had to...
      
Probably the infamous "36 Hours of Alcohol" weekend, which included a) a visit from Sam, b) fur of the dog Blue Moon at 2pm (..when I woke up from the boozy-ass night before), c) wine on my back porch, d) meeting Al Franken, e) the Red Star at 5pm, f) a Heiruspecs show, and g) Luce brunch.


8) Best day out?

      
The day Leanna and I had iron butterflies in a mug at 1pm... or those days we'd go to Luce and drink until we had to go to work... she'd drive me to work and then I'd get her drunk while I opened the bar & she'd sing karaoke.

Red Hot Chili Peppers.

It encapsulates the craziness.

ANNIEMOSITY'S NINE 2006 JAMS.
1) Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer


For realz. 2006 was the year of Bon Jovi. Haters.


2) Buckcherry - Crazy Bitch


Michelle introduced me to this song early on this year. I remember at first thinking "....whoa. Intense." And then I listened to it every time I was at work and started to love it. And then Carissa bought the CD. And then the theater department got a hold of it. And then it was EVERYWHERE. And now it's up for a Grammy. A GRAMMY.


3) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Wet Sand


Like I need to explain this.


4) The Velvet Underground - After Hours


I would listen to this song every night after I came home from working in Superior. I'd collapse onto my bed and stare at the ceiling in the dark and listen to this song exactly two and a half times.


5) Primus - Tommy The Cat


I... just listened to this song a lot. Also, Primus does NOT suck.


6) Heiruspecs - Bright Lights


Heiruspecs, Heiruspecs, Heiruspecs. If you want it, we got it.


7) John Frusciante - Your Pussy's Glued To A Building On Fire


He played this. For me. Well, more for DebonERIC than myself, but I was there. And now I have eight of his solo albums. He's a musical genius. This song's kind of weird but it signifies a lot for me.


8) Charlie Parker - Yardbird Suite


This is what I like to call my Plane Song. I listen to this song... when I'm on a plane. And... I was... on... a lot of planes... this year... awkward.


9) Brandi Carlile - What Can I Say


Ever since the day I left Duluth, I've been obsessively listening to this one. Seven times a day. Over and over.


'06 was killer.
