This year will be strange, because I'm guessing Doc Drum's #1 won't even show in my top 10. I'm still trying to get over the hump with FF, but I'm close to renaming his disc He Poos Poo  |

Hope everything's OK, Dr Drum. And I feel unable to participate here, since I own only three discs off of Riley's list and five off of Drum's. I bought eight zillion discs this year, so I don't know how this is possible. But I will say that the Dears disc is probably my favourite CanCon disc I bought this year, Jon-Rae and Junior Boys were both most exciting discoveries and even though you guys don't like it at all, I still love the Amy Millan disc. |

I wouldn't say I don't like the Milan disc at all, just no real "wow" factor for me.
Hope everything's okay Doc. Nice list btw.

Thanks, guys. My parents are in town for the holidays. Thursday before Christmas, dad had a heart attack. Or maybe not – test results thus far are borderline, so they’re not really sure. Touch and go for a bit but we’re OK now, though, he’s out of the hospital and staying at my place.
tunes - really, really tried on that Amy Millan disc, as you know, but it just wasn't happening.

Doc. Sorry to hear your parents' visit was a bit rough for everyone. Sounds like your Dad's on the mend. Sending some positive vibes his way from the Fall River area. |

All sorts of good wishes coming from this direction too, Drum. Hope his recovery is speedy and full. |
