Heh heh, I can't tell if that's a dig at me for loving a bar band, or if you really enjoyed the show.

Either way, the album rocks. Chips Ahoy is probably the best song of the year.

WON = The Immediate: In Towers and Clouds
TOO = I Lands: Return To The Sea
TREE = DANIELSON FAMILE: Ships
FOR = Jeremy Warmsley: The Art of Fiction
FIV = Beirut: Gulag Orkestar

Sicks to tenn would feature the Lovely Feathers, Hemstad, Annuals, Flaming Lips and Swan Lake in some order.

The new Deerhoof album would probably be in the top 5, if only it wasn't out til next month. So 2007 is already exciting!

Just listened to "the immediate" pretty good.

Measley? Backhand? Box Cutter? Cleaner? Truck?

I'm tempted to call Shenanigans on that one.

1. Disco Itch - Crotch Rot

2. Meatknob - Fondue Licker

3. Flying High - Fumigation

4. Defeat - Chaos At Its Best

5. Eternal Damnation - Satan's Love Hammer

Wow, Meatknob & Disco Itch. Any other members of Gert wanna add to the running gag?

I bought a whole bunch of records this year and then promptly lost them to the dark recesses of a car I no longer ever get to drive. But I remember these being really good:

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Pernice Brothers - Live a Little
Sparklehorse - Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
Joseph Arthur - Nuclear Daydream

Honorable Mention:
Josh Rouse - Subtitulo
Tom Petty - Highway Companion
Ron Sexsmith - Time Being (not available in US

)
M. Ward - Post-War
Metal - A Headbanger's Journey (DVD, but still)

You'll eat your words! That is, unless you're talking about a ball gag + leather garnish, a whip, and some handcuffs.

Gag and meatknob. Nice.

Meatknob...man, that made me laugh. I remember when they were called "Sister Elise and the Jubliee Choir"...back before the yum yum tree incident.

I thought they went a bit down hill when Bono sat in on that Lent track they did though; although it's a much improved band when they changed genres and started playing music for the right reasons.

I can't believe I'd forgotten about the stellar new Meatknob LP. I withdraw my Backhand, and Meatknob shall sit proudly in its place on my list of best 2006 albums.

it wasn't an earth-shatteringly great album or anything, but tops my list of new albums purchased this year by default:
