Time to begin those pesky year-end lists

Now that the naughty and nice lists are out of the way, it's time for me to get on board with putting up the obligatory "Best of 2006" lists. The first comes by way of a new edition of "Music Bickering with Sam and Mandel." It's our last one of the year and it features us putting the bickering aside (GASP!). Sam and I each give our picks for the Top 3 CDs of 2006.

I'll have the rest of my music picks for the year tomorrow.

In the mean time, I've posted up some various pics from 2006 on my photo album. Just click on the "Random 2006" link for the update set of pics.

And finally, in honor of the recently departed "Godfather of Soul," I gotta show you this Youtube find I uncovered last night. FREE JAMES BROWN! It's two clips of "Soul on the Rocks," from the CBS one-off, "What's Alan Watching?"

Anybody have a DVD or VHS copy of this whole special? I loved watching this when it originally aired. Oh, "Gandhi on Ice!"
