2006 Albums of the Year
by Erik Gamlem
Age 29 and a half plus a day
1. The Lawrence Arms - Oh, Calcutta - Fat Wreck Chords
2. Paul Baribeau and Ginger Alford - Darkness on the Edge of Your Town - Self Released
3. Cursive - Happy Hollow - Saddle Creek
4. Pretty Girls Make Graves - Elan Vitale - Matador
5. Chin Up Chin Up - This Harness Can’t Ride Anything - Suicide Squeeze
I think og. soundtracks can be included, but I have to count comp soundtracks out of the running. Sorry American Hardcore.
I do still need to listen to that Cursive record in its entirety. I'm skeptical about the rest of your list Erik... but if you burn me copies I'll give 'em a spin.
I'll try and do so tonight for mass CD giving tommorow. I also have to copy Incesticide for you too. so WORD THE FUCK UP.
I shall do my best to make it a balanced exchange.

Rolling Stone's 'best songs of 2006'
1. Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy"
The GB album is really good. I have no problem with "Crazy" being number one. It was, at least, the most ubiquitous song of the year.
2. The Raconteurs - "Steady as she Goes"
Ok song, moderately amusing video. If this is the second best song of the year, '06 was a musical graveyard.
3. Chamillionaire - "Ridin"
Catchy as hell.
4. T.I. - "What You Know"
Not familiar.
5. The Pack - "Vans"
Pack is the name of a good Swedish hardcore band.
6. Bob Dylan - "Thunder on the Mountain"
Isn't that a Mastodon song?
7. Lily Allen - "Smile"
I've no idea who you are, so no - I won't smile.
8. Clipse with Slim Thug - "Wamp Wamp (What it Do)"
The album has great beats and totally uninspiring rhymes (see: the title of this song).
9. Wolfmother - "Dimension"
Space doesn't allow me to list all the "wolf" bands who are probably better than these guys.
10. Goldfrapp - "Ooh La La"
Have not listened to these guys. Who wants to be awarded with the 10th best song of the year anyway?
Consider the following records released in 2006:
-Espers. "II"
-Fucked Up. "Hidden World"
-Om. "Conference of the Birds"
-the Om/Six Organs of Admittance split
-Nina Nastasia. "On Leaving"
-Terrorizer. "Darker Days Ahead"
-My Dying Bride. "A Line of Deathless Kings"
-Amon Amarth. "With Odin on our Side"
-Melvins. "A Senile Animal"
oh, and this...
