Yeesh, what a year. Yeah, I know, I say that pretty much every year, but
this year I
mean it. In the span of really ten short months, the
Durfette and I welcomed the Durfling 2, I got a promotion at work, the
Durfette got a new job, we both decided we wanted to get the fuck out of
Idaho, I got a new job, we sold our house, bought a new house, moved
to Tennessee, and that's just off the top of my head. It's been a
year. Not to mention that until shit got real bonkers around
August/September, I managed to actually write something nearly every week for
this her blog, which was a lot of fun. I'd love to be able to tell you
that Durf's Weekly Workout will make a triumphant return sometime soon, but I
can't commit to that, and I just can't lie to you terrific folks. The
new job takes a lot of my time and energy, and I'm still trying to figure out
how to make sure my family doesn't get shortchanged, and until I do, I need to
do other things than tell you how wicked lifting to Suffering Hour is (it's
pretty fuckin' wicked though). But hopefully it will be back at some
point. But for now, let's talk about sixteen albums from this year that
were phenomenal. I listened to more music this year than potentially any
year previous, so you know these sixteen are the choicest of choice
cuts. As always, the amount written about any album does not speak to my
thoughts or feelings about it; that's what the numbers are for.
