OK... it's been a while since I've updated this site. Maybe I should change that, no?

My Top 5000 is in the Top 900 these days. #1 is near, probably Feb 2007.

Bummed out today... lost my datebook yesterday, unless my daughter moved it somewhere. It may seem like no big deal to everyone, but it's sorta like losing a diary of the last nine months of your life... it sucks.

Week 7 is now over for Fall 2006. Now, Midterm grading commences!

Monday, December 26, 2005

Hello one and all... Here I begin the posting of my Top 5000 of all time, a chart I've been working on practically my entire life, but especially the past year. Any song is eligible though December 2004, so you'll see rock, soul, dance, house, reggae, classical music, classic rock, jazz, movie tunes, TV themes and Disney classics. Album tracks appear as well.

The chart is also available at UKMIX in the following thread:
