You’re probably listed out but I’ll go ahead and give my favorites from ‘06 anyway. David posted his here last week and James in all of the excitement surrounding the birth of his daughter – congratulations! – forgot which of his blogs was about music. (I’m kidding. You can find his list here.) Surprisingly we have no overlapping artists. I haven’t even heard most of the albums those guys have down! Here’s my top ten in alphabetical order:
Belle and Sebastian – The Life Pursuit
Centro-Matic – Fort Recovery
Elf Power – Back to the Web
Head Like a Kite - Random Portraits of the Home Movie
Islands – Return to the Sea
The Minders - It’s a Bright Guilty World
The Minus 5 - The Gun Album
Snowden – Anti-Anti
Starflyer 59 – My Island
Steve Wynn and The Miracle 3 - …tick …tick …tick
