Band Of The Mawlfuckin' Year :
1.) Thrice
I love this band, I am happy to see them on a bigger label. I have to admit I was dissapointed with the bands they were on tour with and the numbers were just way to low ... I don't know who to blame for this so I will leave that out ... I'm praying that the album will pick up in sales because I know if anyone deserves it is the guys in Thrice. They have put out incredible albums and put on an incredible show.

My Predictions For Next Year :
---
Well to be honest... I have none. I always find it exciting to watch these bands grow and to be honest I'd like to see them all do so. I am so tired of people saying "Oh, I'm so dissapointed with this year in music." I think to myself... HOW can you say that? There is SO much music out there, it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to be bored with music. If you are one of the many that say this, you just aren't looking harding enough for the good stuff. That is your opinion, and that is mine :) .. I would love to see Thrice sell better, I was crushed when the numbers were so low .. Hopefully that will change!
Best Clothing Company :
---
1.) Lacoste
2.) Le Tigre
Haha, I'm not lying, they make rad clothing.
Bands That Make Me Laugh :
---
1.) The Click Five
2.) October Fall
So... that is it. I had a great Christmas and I hope everyone else did as well... or whatever ya celebrate... hope it was good. I just want to thank Jason for letting me take part in everything. You guys wouldn't believe how far the AP.net name carrys and I for one can honestly admit I have discovered tons and tons of new music thanks to this web page.
