favorite records of 2006
Well hello my puppies. (I know that you are not really puppies, but I'd like to pretend that you are since I didn't get one for Christmas.) Traci and I hope that all of you had very Merry Christmases (or whatever it is you celebrate) and a fun new year's celebration. Whilst hopped up on near-illegal decongestants, I watched a pirated copy of Blood Diamond and then watched third-rate celebrities ringing in the new year on Dick Clark's Swingin' New Year. Both showed me tiny fractions of what is wrong with our planet.
There were a few bright spots in 2006, however, right? Like my favorite CDs of the year. Traci's been asking me to post them. Maybe she'll post hers soon, but the thing is that she's still out partying and ringing in the new year. If you find her, please give her a slap on the wrist and send her home.
Now, on to my favorites; love them or hate them, here's what I liked the most that came out this year:
10. Duquette Johnston – Etowah
09. Ratatat – Classics
08. Bob Dylan – Modern Times
07. Man Man – Six Demon Bag
06. The Handsome Family – Last Days of Wonder
05. M. Ward – Post-War
04. Stone Jack Jones – Bluefolk
03. Califone – Roots and Crowns
02. Peter Bjorn and John – Writer’s Block
01. Wooden Wand and the Sky High Band – Second Attention
