geek schmeek..
i know there are better things i could be doing with my time than making a list of my top ten albums of 2006, and generally i would be against this kind of geekery..but i find myself a) inspired by steve's post on the subject, and b) not particularly wanting to read yet another d.h.lawrence novel..so here i go..
1. thom yorke - 'the eraser'
2. sufjan stevens - 'the avalanche'
3. cat power - 'the greatest'
4. joanna newsom - 'ys'
5. beirut - 'gulag orkestar'
6. stereolab - 'fab four suture'
7. sonic youth - 'rather ripped'
8. fionn regan - 'the end of history'
9. futureheads - 'news and tributes'
10. the knife - 'silent shout'
close contenders included: the young knives, pete dale & the beta males, css, midlake and the organ..and my most looked forward to albums/releases of next year are (in no particular order): radiohead (if it happens next year, which it had better, quite frankly), field music, this aint vegas, foals, youthmovies and futureheads (maybe again..).
had an evening filled with lovely men last night, as ian had very kindly recorded jools holland featuring thom yorke, and jonathan ross featuring dylan moran and elijah wood (he really is ever so pretty..) for me. i had a lovely time swooning in the direction of the tv..my only complaint would be that thom yorke played but one song on jools holland, whereas the satanic spawn that is the red hot chili peppers played three..jools holland, what the hell are you playing at? you suck..
and, just as a reminder for those of you who don't have the date etched into the insides of your eyelids, it is my birthday on sunday. don't forget.

i cant believe you managed to do an entire post of your top ten, AND mention my blog but still didnt manage to comment on my original post-- jeez bummer. x
BUT you do make some good choices, even if we only agree on three albums making the top ten.
i'm not sure i'd have put the sonic youth record anywhere near the top ten, but that beirut album is one i'd forgotten about.
when you wrote "as ian", it looks like the word asian.x
