| 2014 Facebook | | 03:15 PM - | Sonata Arctica's Pariah's Child is one of THE BEST albums I've heard in a long time. Elbow's The Take Off And Landing Of Everything is also their best in their career. Zaz's Paris album is pretty good. I've also been listening to a ton of Lost Lander!! |
| 2013 Facebook | | 06:51 AM - | Can't believe how long it's been already since I threw the biggest party of my life on 1/1/2011. Over 400 people came and I had at least five friends DJ it. |
| 2012 Facebook | | 09:55 PM - | Seven and a half hours from MA back to VA! I think that may be a new record! And now to rock out with Destro and good friends at the ol' Tortoise and Hare! Happy New Year's! |

| 2008 Facebook | | 11:20 PM - | A new Her Space Holiday is always welcome. Atmosphere, Psapp, and oh yes, The Music! Strength In Numbers should have been way bigger than it was. Some bands just remind you that yes, 2008 did actually exist. |
| 2007 Facebook | | 10:30 PM - | No new Massive Attack album yet, though Live With Me was released. The new Bjork Volta album was pretty terrible. Garbage broke up. Finger Eleven released a new album and Paralyzer, which was huge, was the only good song. Blaqk Audio released Cex Cells! |
| 2006 Facebook | | 03:05 PM - | Possibly the coolest thing about 2006 was getting to see Massive Attack live. That was pretty amazing! |
| 2005 Facebook | | 10:34 AM - | Bjork's Drawing Restraint 9 was weird. Green Day's When September Ends was played a lot. So was Madonna's Hung Up, a total rip from an ABBA song. Concert highlights included Alice Cooper, Moby (again), and Breaking Benjamin! Not bad at all. |
| 2004 Facebook | | 11:35 AM - | This Love by Maroon 5 was huge. So was Usher's song Yeah and Switchfoot's Meant To Live. So was Linkin Park's Breaking The Habit. I was glad to see The Streets at the 9:30 Club. Also, the B-52's at Wolf Trap was fun, too. Good times. |

| 2002 Facebook | | 11:40 PM - | 2002 was about DC Sessions free concert series in Washington DC where I got to see Splender, Lloyd Dobler Effect, and Maroon 5 for the first time. Atmosphere at Black Cat for my birthday was fun. Mighty Mighty Bosstones was legendary! |
| 2001 Facebook | | 11:45 PM - | In 2001, I was in Spain for a semester abroad and didn't get out to too many shows, but I did manage to pick up Kemopetrol's first album in Madrid Rock and they became one of my favorite bands, which could have lead to my obsession with Massive Attack. |
| 2000 Facebook | | 11:35 PM - | In 2000, I saw Local H for the first time and Moby for the first time as well. SR-71, Violent Femmes, Bloodhound Gang, and VAST were also fun. Not a bad year at all! |
