N&UR: The Year in Review
I am a person who loves lists. My whole life, I've always been filling up notebooks with lists of all sorts. Thus, I love this time of year because everyone gets in the obsessive lists mode. I see that Pitchfork posted their Top 50 Albums today, omitting God's Boat for some reason. The Passionistas did make it onto Johnny Ray Huston's best of the year list in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Over at my other blog, I've been compiling my favorite songs of the year. But this time is also about reflection and, with that in mind, I decided to look back at the year that was for New and Used Records...
January 10 The Passionistas Video Podcast debuts.
February 15 The first N&UR Presents... show featuring Rock N Roll Adventure Kids, Brian Glaze, the Passionistas, and Lou Lou & the Guitarfish.
March 2 The Passionistas sign to New and Used Records.
May 21, 2007 The Passionistas video for "Y2K" debuts on YouTube.
May 27 "Going Gay" by the Passionistas is named 'Download of the Week' by Bill Picture in San Francisco Chronicle.
June 5 God's Boat by the Passionistas is released.
June 8 God's Boat CD Release Party is held at Cafe du Nord with headliner Kelley Stoltz, and openers the Dilettantes and the Specs.
August 28 The Passionistas are featured amongst a handful of local acts in the San Francisco Bay Guardian's "Class of 2007" feature. They are declared the "most likely to succeed."
November 11 The Passionistas win "The Owl Mag's 'Most Likely To Get Injured While Filming' Award" in the Video Makes the Radio Star contest.

Yes! Congrats on all this, Will - it's so important to recognize what we've done in the past as significant - best of luck with 2008!
I love things laid out in timelines like that. But it's hard to believe that nearly a year has passed.
Wow, so much has been accomplished this past year! Kudos to you. :)
