It wouldn't be right to call these my favorite records of 2006 because we still have the second half of the year to bump these record from my list BUT these are the records I've gone back to and listen to the most.
So far so good:
Envelopes - Demon - Brille ( will make my end of year top 10)
Broadcast - The Future Crayon - Warp (collection out I think in August)
Figurines - Skeleton - The Control Group
Love Is All - Nine Times The Same Song - Whats Your Rupture
Animal Collective - Grass EP - FatCat
The Ladies - They Mean Us - Temporary Residence
Scott Walker - The Drift - 4AD
Liars - The Other Side of Mt Heart Attack EP (especially the Single Mix)
Aereogramme - Seclusion - Sonic Unyon
Jesu - Silver EP - Hydra Head
Serena-Maneesh- S/T - Beggars Group / PLayLoudRecordings
Jose Gonzalez - Veneer - Mute
(The Sounds Of) Kaleidoscope - Night and Day
With so few records really winning me over this year I have spent a great amount of time with my record collection (as well as my friends') and rediscovering old favorites as well as checking out a few reissues; not all of which have come out this year but it has taken me that long to get back to them.
Rewind:
Bridget St. John - The reissues in Cherry Red Records (Beth Orton who?)
The Field Mice - the reissues on LTM
Anything Pale Saints
Anything AC Temple ( I'll be damned if I can find a good link to this band)
The 80's - 90's twee / shoegaze / or other goodness of : Meat Whiplash, Talulah Gosh, Marine Research, Slaughter Joe, Lorelei, The Wolfhounds, Orchids, Television Personalities, Veronica Lake, The Servants, The Weather Prophets, The Loft, Lovelies, Basement 5, A Witness, and The Clean
I was kinda sorta thinking if anybody wants a mixed cd of some of this older stuff I would be glad to trade a mix for a mix. Or you can send me a blank cdr and I will make you a little somethin' somethin'. Email me if you are interested or just mail me a cdr - email and PO Box are listed at the top left of this page.
