The Top Five Songs of 2006
Now that the dust has finally settled, I’m prepared to pontificate on what I consider the top five songs released in 2006.

Mary Poppins at a Spelling Bee
When my mom was in college she had a part-time job as an usher at a movie theater. The only film shown the entire time she worked there was The Sound of Music. She must have seen it hundreds of times. I’ve caught pieces and bits of it over the years, but have never actually

I figure he’s got about the same chance of getting paroled as Sirhan Sirhan does. It’s nice to see that the hearing only
Goodbye in Gasoline
I‘ve decided that Goodbye in Gasoline has overtaken How’s My Driving, Doug Hastings? as my favorite Less Than Jake song. It’s a tough call to make.
