It’s time for a bit of “The year in Review. This is some of the stuff I really enjoyed in 2005.

Music

This is the music from the soundtrack of my life last year.

• Bowling for Soup
• U2
• Thievery Corporation
• Death Cab for Cutie
• StoryHill
• Johnny Cash
• Halloween Alaska
• Coldfront– OK, I didn’t really listen to their music much but I saw them live three times, so I’ll include them on the list.

Art

Seeing “The Gates” was an awesome experience. There is no art I’ve seen that measures up to the scale and power of this “exhibit”.

Movies

These movies all hit home for one reason or another.

• Garden State
• Pieces of April
• Lost in Translation
• Riding Giants
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
• Hero

Books

Favorite books of last year.

• Because of Winn Dixie
• Fear and Lothing in Las Vegas
• The Shipping News
• Choke
• Fight Club
• The Things They Carried

Have a safe New Year celebration. See you next year!
