the best albums of 2006. and i know, everyone's a critic. so people will disagree. and say "what about Band XYZ? they made me wet!" and i'll tell them, "thats because you're a bloody cunt." my list is thorough and correct. because i have awesome taste and i'm ridiculously diligent. however, i couldn't bring myself to put them in order. because i don't have the time and because there's an unwritten rule that "best of..." yearly lists must be up before february. squeaking by at the end of january, you must bear with me. so here it is, in no particular order...Herbert: ScalesCarla Bozulich: EvangelistaBeirut: Gulag OrkestarGuillemots: Through the WindowpaneBelle & Sebastian: The Life PursuitDanielson: ShipsJamie Lidell: MultiplyBoris: PinkMogwai: Mr. Beastthe Dresden Dolls: Yes, VirginiaJenny Lewis & the Watson Twins: Rabbit Fur CoatPhoenix: It's Never Been Like ThatGrant Lee Phillips: NineteeneightiesHoneycut: The Day I Turned To GlassAbsentee: Schmotimethe Fratellis: Costello Musicthe Veils: Nux Vomicathe Format: Dog ProblemsLily Allen: Alright, Still...Adam Green: Jacket Full Of Dangerawesomeness...on to 2007
