I'm pleasantly surprised by the Hot Chip album. Not sure if they're heard of over there or not.

Well, I know of them, but only 'cause of a london guy I know talking about them in '04.  I think everything they've done is brilliant :D
I just recently ordered the new album, but have had it on my HD for the past few months or so... also own a few of the singles.  I wish the bside on the one ('A Glue Too Thick') could be found online since I just have it on vinyl and don't have a way to transfer it to mp3.  bah.

I am ashamed/excited.

I have realized that if you combine all of the bands that I really like lately, the genre that you get is... you know.

Every time I tried to listen in the past, I hated it. I almost threw out the 7" which I bought.
Most people despite this genre.and perhaps rightly so. but recent listening has led me to warm to it. and I am enjoying it thorougly.
Of all of the styles I have listened to, this is the most similar to how I play guitar (at least, to how I want to play guitar.).

damn.

I'm not sure if any of my albums of 2006 are from 2006 or not. I think most of them were the end of last year...
Amadou and Mariam - Dimanche a Bamako is a contender though. The Cat Empire - Cities and L'Attirail - La Bonne Aventure also.
L'Attirail for having been in my collection for only a month or two have already topped my overall list on last.fm. OK, I stopped using the plugin for a long while, but even so...

Nice to have you back, slink! Nobody else lays down bands I've never even heard of as nonchalantly as you.

Thanks Mite.
I try. To be fair, I could add Gogol Bordello to the list, everyone must have heard of them by now. I was trying to think of something that everyone really would know of, but alas. I'll be getting Live at Crystal Palace, th enew Cake album when it arrives though!
Oh, and will add Firewater who I like, as you can listen to their whole album online. http://www.firewater.tv/radio.html
