You know, based on what I've observed in the past, I think that music bloggers are gonna be falling all over themselves trying to be the first out of the gate with their "Best of 2006" Lists. It wouldn't even surprise me to see them start showing up as early as, say, October this year.

But I say why even wait 'til October? You could do it right now! Just refer to the Catbirdseat Handy Music-Blogger 'Best Of 2006' List Cheat Sheet, and you can quickly and easily have all your favorites categorized for you, and you don't even have to think about it!
