I will be entertained in 07

I am excited about all the stuff coming out this year. The latest from The Arcade Fire is outstanding! If you haven't picked it up yet you should. The new Modest Mouse is great too. Everything you have come to expect from them but they have once again grown and expanded their ensemble. This album includes drum machines, horns that are actually integrated into their songs, and as always the biting and witty lyrics Isaac is known for. New Interpol as well. I couldn't do this post without mentioning that the Smashing Pumpkins will be releasing new material and if anyone wants to take me to Germany for my birthday they are playing a festival on June 3rd!
I can't wait for the game SPORE. It's been on MY radar since it has been on the radar in 2005. I don't think there was a must have game last year. This year I am looking forward to SPORE and the latest Zelda for the DS. I'm also excited about the new expansions for Battlelore coming out this Spring.
Photoshop 3 is coming out which will be interesting too. I can't imagine what more that program could actually do but it will be fun to see. I am pretty sure the beta is still open if you want to go try it. Flash 9 with Actionscript 3.0 should be out later this year too.
Movies this year actually look good too. New Fantastic 4 which will look good if nothing else. I just hope they don't make it too wussy like the first one. Transformers will be good. New Harry Potter book and movie too.
The only things I can think of that are missing are Prince Caspian the movie which should be out the first half of 08 and new stuff from George R.R. Martin.
Let me know if I missed anything or if there is something you are looking forward to.
