So here it is... finally. My first apology goes to Saiman as I am so slow, and he has been highly anticipating the final cut of my best of 2006. Having spent a big chunk of the year outside the UK in a remote part of Greece where all they played was Shakira (although it got me dancing) was a challenge but I think I've caught up. (... I hope saiman's list is soon to follow.)
1 CSS- Alala (CSS)
various videos available for this one but this is awesome
2 Band of Horses - Great Salt Lake (Everything all the time) ...almost weed party
3 Midlake- Roscoe (Van Occupanther) ...this was my fav by far up until september.
4 Grizzly Bear - Knife (Yellow House) ...On a neck, on a spit.
5 The Knife- We Share Our Mothers Health (Silent Shout)
6 Of Montreal - She's a Rejector (Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer)...best record of year
7 The Grates - Seek Me (Gravity Won't Get You High)... hey hey
8 Silversun Pickups - Rusted Wheel (Carnavas)
9. Bishop Allen - The Flood (August Live Ep)...what a productive year
10. Jenny Lewis- The Charging Sky (Rabbit Fur Coat)
honourable mentions to many other songs...
in terms of my top albums most of these songs are taken form them, but I have listened to Albert Hammond Jr, Jouse Rouse, Tv on the Radio, The Dears, Tilly and the wall, Oh No, Oh My, The Decemberists a lot.
Best Gig of 2006, probably metric because the band were on fire, I danced and caught Emily Haines when she stage dived.
Best musically related moment...meeting Jenny Lewis.
Worst Moment...missing Broken Social Scene as I was stuck in the alps, ah well feist can wait.
what does 2007 have to offer, new Shins, Deerhoof, Postal Service, Rilo Kiley (fingers crossed), Arcade Fire...
