"Got a Feelin' 2010 is Gonna Be a Good Year"

I have The Who on the brain after being bludgeoned with their Super Bowl halftime promos all Wild Card Weekend while nursing a hangover brought on by a blurry line of basement bourbon shots. Thus, I am using their song "21" from Tommy in the title to this post...which is about the most anticipated releases of 2010 at Circle of Fits.
Usually I write and I drink to forget. But today I write in anticipation of these offerings coming out sometime  this year:

My bite is only every so often worse than my bark, and I look forward to your own submissions...and be as indie/obscure as you want to be! I love all music and all people.
