Anybody up for some off topic-ness?  Here goes.  We're 5 months into 2012 and Stereogum just posted their "Best Albums of the Year So Far List."  So……what do our lists around here look like?

I'd play if there's extra room.  I used to play hsx but it was too much work.  This looks just about right.

Very good news.  Knowing that at least one of the show's great writers will return gives me some real confidence that season 4 will be worthwhile, even if it isn't Harmon's vision.  Ganz has written four of the show's very best episodes (on my personal list, 2 top 10's (including my all time fave) and two more between…
