Future Mix: I’m looking at you, 2007

December 27, 2006

Well, we’re in the last few days of 2006 and many are already beginning to look forward to next year in music. What’s in store for 2007 you may ask? I’ve made a schedule of sorts of albums that are being released in 2007 (or are being projected to be released) that I’m looking forward to. It’s a understatement to say that it looks like it’s going to be a great year for music. If I have a single/demo/live song from the album I’ve included it as an MP3 download.

I’m going on a cruise this week so I won’t be posting very frequently, if at all (although I might try the wordpress future post thing out). In the meantime though, feel free to discuss which of these albums you can’t wait for or tell me if there’s some 2007 albums that I missed that I should be hyped up for. Follow the jump to see the whole list.
