But We're All Getting Older, Anyway - Looking back on 2007

The Only 5 Records that Mattered in 2007
5. Lifetime – Limfetime
I was never really that in to old Lifetime, and I think with this record I never will. This is everything I could have ever wanted out of Lifetime

4. Glass and Ashes – Glass and Ashes
I think only 200 people are lucky enough to have a copy of this record before the year ends, and I am one of them, and it is seriously incredible. Leaps and bounds above their last effort. Brutal and melodic and awesome

3. Young Livers – the New Drop Era
Just something incredibly special about this record. Cant put it in words. Just fucking incredible

2. A Wilhelm Scream - Career Suicide
These guys step it up on every record. I have no idea where they will be going from here. They have practically mastered fast punk rock

1. Fake Problems – How Far Our Bodies Go
Simply one of the best performances in a long time. Seeing this band now is like seeing Against Me when Against Me was still fun to see. These guys just embody the spirit of this music, its fun and honest. I cant remember many records that have ever come out that I think are on par with this.

In 2007 I learned that the worst drivers in the Southeast can be found on the stretch of I-75 between Gainesville and Tampa, FL, and that Chicago is just another city. In 2007 I fell apart and put myself back together. I played some killer shows, met some great new friends and didn’t get tattooed enough. By the age of 22 I have done almost everything in the world I wanted to achieve by now.

In 2008, I have my whole life ahead of me.

So here’s to that.
