Well, the year is almost half over and my daughter is now 7 months old (can you believe it?) There has also been a lot of great music released in 2006 thus far and I’ve got a whole bunch of it loaded onto the iPod for our road trip this weekend. We are going to Pennsylvania for some much needed rest and relaxation this weekend, and to give my in-laws a chance to see the newest little member of the family. Since I’m not sure when I’ll be able to post next, below are some of my favorites of 2006 so far. Somewhat inspired by the great Contrast Podcast recap podcast, here is a little something (20 songs) to tide you over until I get back. If there is other great stuff that you think is worth a mention as some of the best so far this year, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

I’ll catch y’all later.
