yeah, I don't know. They've been having hell of bandwidth problems this year, and every time it comes up, the tech people say that it's because some assholes have gotten their bittorrent programs to sneak past the blocking software, and are downloading hell of Filmz and Gamez. Now that I think about it... that seems really not viable. (there is a word "viable," but not "unviable?" it suggests "inviable," but that just sounds... wrong.)

in regards to my sig (keith)-- that reminds me. I know he did not come out this year, but I am hell of digging some Matisyahu. Possibly because I have a repressed love of Reggae and Ska. And toasting gets me all excited.

also, I just found out that the man who had My Favorite Voice died this year. WTF, Desmond Dekker?

Ray Davies' Other People's Lives was pretty fantastic.

You know, I've heard a couple Matisyahu tracks that were okay but... I can't help but categorize him with Rappin' Granny or... il Devo or something.  Just... marketed due to a missmatch of appearance vs the form of music being made, you know?  What's next, a post-op transvestite gospel singer?

My top 3 albums this year were-

1. Aereogramme- My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go (not released outside Japan til February, but absolutely mindbogglingly brilliant). http://www.chemikal.co.uk/myheart/ [has sound and things]
2. Frightened Rabbit- Sing The Greys (best debut I've heard in years, classic indie-pop shot through with Scottish wryness). http://www.frightenedrabbit.co.uk/
3. Guillemots- Through The Windowpane (Mercury Prize nominated wonder with giddy pop magic and jazzy creativity combining perfectly, especially on the last 14 minute long track which sounds 3 minutes long) http://www.myspace.com/guillemotsmusic

craps and a half, I forgot they even put something else out.  I love Two Shoes to death, and their other release I haven't been able to get because it keeps getting back-ordered.  I need to look into this more.

Also, as for good 2006 releases...  Mischief Brew's 'songs from under the sink' is excellent, but then you'd have to already be a fan of his anarcho-folk-punk type stuff.  I'd recommend his other full-length, though.

And I may be just a bit biased, but I think that if I were to make a top-five list for that year, at the risk of taking a momentary lapse into silliness, it would go:

5. World/Inferno - Red Eyed Soul
4. World/Inferno - Red Eyed Soul
3. World/Inferno - Red Eyed Soul
2. World/Inferno - Red Eyed Soul
1. World/Inferno - Red Eyed Soul

So in short I guess that means that I cannot state that enough: completely incredible band somehow continues to be just as excellent after 10 years while not letting anyone really know that they even exist when everyone really should.

I don't know if they had released an album in 2006 (the probably did) but to show my obeisance to them, I will highly recommend Coheed and Cambria.  However, don't wear their clothes or put their bumper stickers on your car, because if you do it seems that you become a dick. (I have evidence) They are frequently liked by the annoying high school emo crowd, but they have some great music.

Also, Two Live Jews are way better than Matisyahu.

So... seriously, what is up with Coheed and Cambria?

I saw the video with the hoss dude and the lady and like King Neptune or somesuch, and I think I'm confusing parts of it with the opening credits to Xena.

I was all, "Man, I wonder if there's a story there or somesuch."  I got on the internet and found that the story spans like 7 albums and has nothing to do with the videos but it's all fantastical and interlaced and ...

Basically it's a seven disc soap opera.  Is that the sum of it?

I don't watch videos so I don't know how that fits in, but yeah, it's supposed to be one huge story.  And some of it takes place in SPACE!

But of course, if you don't like the music, I don't think the whole story idea will be able to pull you in as much.  I think they are really original.

I have never been able to appreciate anything where people took a genre I like and added Metal to it. Except Nirvana, which is my favorite band.

that is all.

I like the genre of airplanes where they took the wood and added metal to it, except for the Spruce Goose, which I stood in a few weeks ago.

Seriously, big wooden airplane.

That is so metal.
