February 8, 2007
As is becoming routine, I apologize for the extensive delay. I think after this post I’m going back to the usual blog format. I do have a few other lists I’ve organized, but given the fact that it’s already February, I think I’m just gonna move on. 2007 has started out very strong, so I have lots of work to do (in addition to the whole grad school thing).
Anyways, I remember this being a lot easier last year. This year I could probably generate two equally-strong lists, but for the sake of brevity I’ve kept it to just one. Without further ado, I present the Top 10 Songs of 2006:
- Rocky Votolato :: White Daisy Passing
- Beirut :: Postcards From Italy
- M. Ward :: Poison Cup
- Silversun Pickups :: Lazy Eye
- TV On the Radio :: Wolf Like Me
- Junior Boys :: In the Morning
- Bishop Allen :: Flight 180
- Band of Horses :: I Go to the Barn Because I Like the Monsters
- Calexico :: All Systems Red
- Voxtrot :: Sway
Most of the tracks above have previously appeared on my blog in one form or another, so I feel like there’s nothing too spectacular about this mix. I think it flows pretty well, though I’m starting to doubt whether I will ever eclipse the pinnacle that is my first podcast.
And just in case you’d forgotten, my absolute favorite song of 2006 did not make the list above due to time constraints. I cannot recommend it any more strongly, so give it a listen!
