Nah, I do believe Celine Dion would've accomplished that :lol:

Speaking of hilarity, I find it incredibly amusing that the might University Of Miami Hurricanes are gonna be playing on the smurf turf in your back yard. Oh how the mighty have fallen :crazy:

Stereolab, Jeremy Enigk, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Neko Case are the most played, can't quite recall what all was released this year.

Didn't listen to many new albums this year.Delays ,Flaming Lips (which i never got into really) and Pet Shop Boys are the only ones that spring to mind.Delays' album wasn't as good as their fist IMO.Still may check out The Rapture's album if i get round to it.Liked the first single of that.The one with the video in the rollerskating arena :scratch:

Get it, Johnny: it's a funky little bastard of a long-player and the singer's dropped the Robert Smith impressions, thank God.

Can only think of Hot Chip, The Knife and MSTRKRFT, the latter of which is the only one I'd heartily recommend to all and sundry, especially if, like me, you like your choons just a teensy bit Old Skool.

some kid in our office called Ste hasn't turned in today. the office manager said something wrong with his ears when he called in this morning, she wants him to get a note coz he's always off, with shitty excuses. just a shame he had to go and tell us yesterday that he was going to see Kasabian last night. :evil4:

not Kasabian's. its shite.

I cant remember anything from this year thats stood out that much? Been a lot of good songs (Shoot The Runner,Cellphones Dead) but no full albums for me. Hopefully next year with the return of Radiohead and a few others things will buck up a little.

Had a bit of a thing for mash ups this year.

Did I even purchase 10 albums this year???

What Made Milwaukee Famous-Trying To Never Catch Up Deadboy & the Elephantmen-We Are Night Sky Gnarls Barkley-Saint Elsewhere Reckless Kelly Was Here Jack Ingram-Live, Wherever You Are Micky and the Motorcars-Careless Shapeshifters-Sound Advice Sylver-Nighttime Calls Ministry of Sound-Ibiza Annual 2006 (gotta get my gay disco fix in there!)

So I take it you're excited about the Genesis 'reunion tour' they've anounced then - massive LOL! :abovelol: Seriously I know what you mean not too much exciting music around this year and my fave albums of 2006 are

1. Jeff Mills - Blue Potential - A pefect cross over between Detroit's Techno wizzard and Montpeillier's Synphony orchestra! 2. Hybrid - I Choose Noise - Glad I just got into them and this is excellent breakbeat/electronica made even better with their Hooky connection! 3. Coldcut - Sound Mirrors - Been around a long time but still know how to rock More Beats and Pieces! 4. Primal Scream - Riot City Blues - Despite being a big disappointment after XTMTR and Evil Heat and more of a retrograde step than Give Up But Don't Give Out!

Would like to get around to the PSB and A Guy Called Gerrald albums - maybe in 2007 when Xmas is over Cheers!
