I know, it's a little late, but planning was never my strong suit.

So, yeah, remember when you used to get mixed tapes from me all the time? Back when I was still throwing you some game?

Enough. I figured I'd give my readers something this Christmas (because it's Christmas), so I've decided to do a cheesy 12 Days of Christmas thing but with the best music I heard for 2006. Free, old music -- this is as cheap as it can get. Doesn't necessarily mean these songs are from 2006; instead, it's just that I heard them for the first time in 2006.

Okay, I'm stalling. Kicking off with The Jayhawks and "Somewhere in Ohio," a track that makes me want to get on my bike and ride the countryside. Don't know why.

You'll get another one tomorrow, if not later.
