Happy Birthday am/fm!: Just the hits
Here's a baker's dozen of my favorite posts from the last year. They were either fun to write or fun to read, or I just think that they represent the blog pretty well.
1. These are the only acceptable Christmas songs.
2. Songs that feature cowbell prominently, in list form.
3. You should be watching Flight of the Conchords already.
4. I can't include this on my "Great Albums of 2007" list, because it came out in 2006, but The Cardigans' "Super Extra Gravity" is a great one.
5. I saw Calexico! I didn't tag it "live review" for some reason, so I missed it for the Best Shows of 2007 post. It should be on there.
6. I do love Muppets and Kanye, so when I can talk about them both in the same breath, I'm a happy girl. Also, I love imparting random, tangential trivia.
8. The one and only Soundtrack Battle Wednesday.
9. An internet-wide discussion of the worst song ever. I still say not in a million years would it ever be "Ebony & Ivory."
10. Cool music makes the TV shows that play it cool, right? I don't know if I'm noticing it less, or what, but the hipetude of "Gossip Girl"'s soundtrack is less glaringly obvious these days. And, yes, I watch it every week.
11. I liveblogged the VMAs. It's taken me a while to recover, but I think I'll be ready for the Grammys by the time February rolls around.
12. We covered all aspects of CMJ (for which we won an award from Newsday!), including what was in the gift bags.
13. Me and the kids love Pavement.

Happy b-day to your blog, your coverage of CMJ was I think the best. But your blog was always fun to read. If you want to see a cool video (Sesame Street related): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDU-ZyBQRnQ
