I suppose it would feel very cool and validating to appear on someone's "Best of the Year" list, though I have not experienced this sensation just yet. However, I did get a mention in the Dallas Observer's article on the year's best Dallas-based records. The quote goes like this:

"...what follows is a local top 10 by committee, with five of us picking the two local releases we fell hardest for in 2007. Obviously, getting some of us to pick just two was a challenge, and some great bands fell by the wayside—apologies to RTB2, 100 Damned Guns, Dylan Sneed, Twisted Black, Sarah Reddington, Dust Congress, Glen Farris and the others we lost along the way."

I'm actually pretty excited about this. To even be in a year's best conversation is really an honor. So thanks for the mention, Dallas Observer critics. And thanks to all of you for listening this year. It's really amazing to reflect and realize how much has happened.  I'm extremely thankful for what happened, glad about what's happening now, and eagerly anticipating what's to come.

See you next year,

Dylan
