This is just a partial, stream-of-consciousness list of releases set to drop in 2006. This isn't everything, it's just what came to us (Pizzo, Andreas Hale, Matt Conaway) when we were scrambling to get this list to you in time for New Years Day. 1/3 of these will never see release in '06, 1/4 of them will never see the light of day period. Scary.
