Things to be excited about in 2007:
1.
Absolute loads of new albums from many of my favorite musicians.
-New Patrick Wolf album - "The Magic Position," February 26th in the UK.
-New Willy Mason album - "If The Ocean Gets Rough," March 5 in the UK, March 20 in the US.
-New Bright Eyes album - "Cassadaga," April 9.
-New Rufus album - "Release the Stars," early May.
-New Art Brut album - I don't know the title or when it will be out.
2.
Possible album supporting tours by all of the above. Bright Eyes is already touring in February and March, and Willy Mson is headed to the UK and Ireland for a house tour.
3.
Getting my hands on several albums from last year I haven't bought yet - such as Jarvis Cocker's "Jarvis" and Larrikin Love's "The Freedom Spark," and the single for Patrick Wolf's "Accident and Emergency."
4.
Knowing there's a lot of music I like a lot but am still discovering - like whole world of indie folk and alt.country, and that there will be tons of bands I'm not even aware of right now that will release really good stuff this year, too. And adding to my record collection, now that I have a player.

5.
TRIP TO EUROPE. Spring break. Europe. 'Nuf said.

Things to be a little freaked out about, 2007:
1.
Turning 20, and therefore not being a teenager anymore. Heck.
2.
Stopping with the being "undeclared" and becoming an art history major. And trying to figure out if I want to double with something.
3.
Deciding where I'm going to go abroad in spring 2008.
4.
Finding a good job this summer.


Er... yeah. 2007!
