2006 - The Year of Medicrity

I haven't posted in ages here partly because I've been focusing on the BWF but mainly because I haven't been fired up about most of the new music I've heard in the past year. The Scissor Sisters album, for example had a shelf life of 2 listens before it outstayed its welcome.

2007 is already shaping up to be much, much better in my eyes due to forthcoming releases from the Arcade Fire, the Bees, LCD Soundsystem and AIr to name a few.

In any case, here are my top 10 picks for '06 (I know it's a little late for this).

1) Nobody and the Mystic Chords of Memory - Tree Colored See
2) The Rapture - Pieces of the People We Know
3) M. Ward - Post War
4) Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics
5) Hot Chip - The Warning
