Yes, I'm still here, Blogosphere

I haven't been blogging much this year.  Unfortunately that's as much a testament to my life becoming devoid of interesting things as it is to being busy (with work).  After too many farewells it looks like I may finally have a friend moving back to the Seattle area soon, though.  Very much looking forward to that...

I mentioned two years ago in a post that Greatest Hits releases have become really scarce these days.  In that post I noted a few that I hoped were forthcoming.  Since then, the Foo Fighters and George Harrison (posthumously) delivered the quality compilations that I requested.  The Dixie Chicks recently delivered one, too, though it isn't quite as complete as I had hoped.  I've still got my fingers crossed that AC/DC and Metallica give in and release retrospectives.  And as long as CDs don't completely disappear I think the odds are good we'll see ones from Nickelback, John Mayer, Coldplay, and P!nk in the not too distant future.  I just picked up the much anticipated Steve Winwood offering yesterday.  Revolutions: The Very Best of Steve Winwood is an excellent career encompassing collection that's missing only one minor hit song I wanted, One and Only Man.  Here's the track listing:
