Albums of Today
« on: June 07, 2006, 06:23:28 am »
Recently I heard two great albums of 2006.   I was excited, as I haven't really found anything that good from this year.  Anyways, the albums are Gnarls Barkley- St. Elsewhere and Starlight Mints- Drowaton.  What are your favorites of 2006?

Band of hosss - Everything All The Time
Charlatans UK - Simpatico
Gomez - How We Operate
Soul Position - Things Go Better With RJ and Al
Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

I also like the Arctic Monkeys record, but they've been on SNL so I don't feel a need to point them out.

I bought Gnarls Barkley and I wasn't too enamoured. I will give it further chances.

Hot Chip have just released a pretty good album.

I didn't want to like Gnarls Barkley as of my thinking it was a big pile of hype (In my defense, I did not know who was involved). Then I heard a 7 second snippet of "Crazy" by accident. Then I had to have it. Adore it.

Also swell: The new Paul Simon, "Surprise". Russian Circles "Enter".

I do not own a single CD which has been released this year.

Considering my age, I listen to an awful lot of 80's music (ie: the good stuff. not the crap stuff). Most of my CDs are more recent, though, as it is hard to find the bands I like around here.

Fuck Albums of Today.  I'm rockin' Albums...  Of Tomorrrow!


That 26th Radiohead release is pretty good but it sounds a lot like the 15th, you know what I mean?

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

How did I forget to include Rabbit Fur Coat by Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins?

It's really good slow alt-country and I should be shunned for leaving it off my first list.

Though I've only listened to it a couple times, I have so far greatly enjoyed Mogwai's Mr. Beast.

Oh, sweet baby JESUS. I just bought Prince's new album last night. I am thoroughly disappointed, especially after my hopes were so raised after Musicology, which effing rocked. Anyone else heard it? I am not very good at describing music. There is a lot of cheezy 1980s effects to the vocals, and the whole thing just depressed me.

I have it, but I actually haven't listened to it yet.

He did a song on SNL that I thought rocked the cock, but I don't know the name of it.

Whoa! My sister saw Prince on SNL and said that he looked "tired, really skinny, and old. It was just sad." What did you think? She was not impressed by his performance on SNL. However, I adore Prince, so I think I might've enjoyed his performance. ALSO, Neighborhoodies has an AWESOME Prince-head-option that you can get on any item of clothing that they make. I am so tempted to get one.

Oh man, speaking of other albums. Has anyone heard Sia's "Color the Small One"? Apparently it was released like five million years ago in Britain, but it just got released here. I heard it the other night on my favorite radio station and initially thought it was Tori. I emailed the station and found out that it was not Tori. Then I found a hilariously snarky review of Sia on Amazon.com by a peturbed Tori fan. Good times.

Man, he was on FIRE for the first performance.  He did some serious rocking out.

And of course he looked skinny.  He's Prince!

I also enjoyed St. Elsewhere, I didn't think I would, because I'm a hipster snob and anything that has any connection to adult swim normally makes me want to puke, but that shit is pretty sweet.  Nogatco Rd is another favorite that came out this year, not quite on the level of Dr. Octagon or Black Elvis, but an awesome Kool Keith album, and just further proof that he's totally off his nut.  And despite what anyone may say, I really enjoyed At War With The Mystics.  And I think that's all the albums i've bought so far this year, looking alright so far.

Yea, I forgot about the Life Pursuit, I really liked that too.  My roommate said the new Radiohead was good, but I am probably just going to wait for it.  Sonic Youth also has a record out soon (maybe already?) that should be good.



Edit: Sonic Youth- Rather Ripped comes out next tuesday.
