Hey, I've been sick the last few days, not feeling up to posting much. Here's a few short links to carry you through the weekend.

- Travelers' Diagram (cool pal T) has posted his best of '06 list. Dip into it.

- The Archive of Contemporary Music is still selling LPs this weekend - it goes on through Sunday.

- Founding chairman of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, is dead at the age of 83. He dies of complications from too much headbanging at a recent Rolling Stones concert. Seriously. What a way to go for this rock and roll lifer. From popularizing R & B in the 1940s and 1950s to the chairman of everything in major label rock for the past 30 years...
