  • My 3 favs of 2005

    1 - Music for crocodiles by "Susheela Raman"
    2 - Frances the mute by "The Mars Volta"
    3 - Mighty rearanger by "Robert Plant and The Mighty Sensation"
  • the album that i was most pleased/shocked about was the new rolling stones record. a bigger bang

    i've been a stones fan for years and this told me that i should continue being

    for anyone who doesn't have it yet i would seriously make the effort to at least try to give it a listen. borrow it or buy it. i went in listening, expecting a bad feeling, and came out absolutely blown away. shocked the hell out of me.

    too bad about their ticket prices though :(

    1. Z - My Morning Jacket : By Faaaar, this album blew me away and changed my life, it renewed my fate in today's music and musicians!

    2. Antics - Interpol : Never heard such an elegant rocking album.

    3. Out Of Exile - Audioslave : Harbors some true classics in it, what a powerful rocking record, finally RATM and Soundgarden merged!

    (ooh ooh... just saw it on the post above, "I'm wide awake and it's morning - bright eyes", honour mention to them, and to Spoon for Gimme Fiction, and to Franz Ferdinand on their last too, not top three only because I just got them, they need to warm up a bit more into me, but they're getting there.)

    1. Ryan Adams- Cold Roses
    2. Sufjan Stevens- Illinois
    3. Sleater-Kinney- The Woods

    Bloc Party and Editors too.

    My top three:

    Coldplay - X & Y
    Fionna Apple - Extraordinary Machine
    My Morning Jacket - Z

    Others I thought were good:

    Beck-Guero
    Bloc Party-Silent Alarm

    Audioslave - Out of Exile
    Death Cab for Cutie - Plans

    I also just bought "Don't Believe the Truth" earlier this week and only have listened to it a couple times. It sounds like if I would have purchased it earlier, it might have been one of my favs also.

    I don't think Handsome Boy released an album last year. White People was released in 2004, and it was the last I heard of them.

  • Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise

    I wonder if Sufjan Stevens will actually release an album for every state??
    Illinois is a cool album....Chicago is a very catchy tune, though I haven't listened to it as much as I would of liked.
