It's list time again! No need to be too formal. If you like, you can limit your list to new releases; or in the alternative to your favorite purchases of the year regardless of recording date. I'm going to need some time to review what I have that's new!

Today is David's birthday. RIP.

Unless I'm mistaken, I have Gerry Mulligan playing Sometime Ago on his Something Borrowed Something Blue Limelight album. I also have Brasil '66 doing it on an early '70s album.

These are the ten American beers whose sales declined the most from 2009-2014. Budweiser comes in at #10. http://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/12/07/beers-americans-no-longer-drink-2/2/

A few months ago, Spotify announced that they would collect data from your computer and keep track of what you are doing. Did they ever recant this idea? I've been avoiding them ever since. It would be nice to know that one could go there safely. Any idea?

Eric, two years ago I bought on the internet DVDs of the broadcasts of a number of Grey Cups. I'm confident that you will find it on eBay or elsewhere. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?adpos=%7Badposition%7D&ul_noapp=true&geo_id=10232&MT_ID=8&crlp=%7Bcreative%7D_2416792&keyword=grey+cup+dvd&_nkw=grey+cup+dvd&device=c&crdt=0&clk_rvr_id=943414802113 Maybe TSN will allow you to stream it this week. I do not get ESPN3.com, but they usually keep their games available for streaming for a couple of days.

Eric, I sent the money today, as per your request! Tell me, did you think you were out of it when the Redblacks scored 13 points in the first three minutes?

And the final score is... Edmonton 26....Ottawa 20 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/game/ottawa-redblacks-edmonton-eskimos-20151129/Stats So our winner, picking Edmonton and 45, is ejp626! Congratulations ejp! Please PM me your address, and I'll order your Mosaic gift card. Thanks for playing everyone!

I live in the Glenwood South neighborhood of Raleigh which is the headquarters of sports bars, so I am going to head out now and see if one sells Canadian beer. Everyone who is at home watching on ESPN2 or TSN is welcome to post his comments as the game goes along. Remember, the deadline is 6:00 pm eastern, so we cannot accept a pick posted later. Good luck everyone!
