On the shortest day of the year, it’s the longest annual ever, by far: 171 new entries, 32,000 new words.
Behold, the 2007 Pop Music Abstract. As usual, you can read it in the traditional TMR green-on-black, or, should you value your eyesight, a black-on-white sissy version.
Okay, I’d say “read responsibly”, but I sure didn’t write that way.
You can still rock in America,

These all link to the sissy version, because traditionalists don’t use indices. Hopefully, traditionalists will be patient, since I don’t really get rolling until “B”.
