Assault.it’s final year-end list is a suitably epic submission from the Emmy award-winning worm masseuse Jeremiah McNeil.

This is one of those list thingies, for the year of 2010. Hosted by the world’s deadliest amateur music blogger, Oswald Hobbes.

Contrary to what you see on Assault, we still have time to lovingly peruse our old music collections. With that in mind, Jere has fired up his iPod, set it to “random album” and reviewed the first three things that pop up. We call it Assault Shrapnel, where nothing is off-limits and you don’t know what’ll hit you!
