If you surf music blogdom you will notice that most people will compile their “Best Chunes I loved in 2006, Ever!” chart…

I find this harder than ever this year because I am just wading through some of the best music of the year now, next year, well this year, but next year compared to its release of last year!

Part of the issue for me is that my year runs from September really, being academically involved and all that… does that mean i should get Christmas in August? So, I shall be posting my year end gubbins next July!

Until then…

These 5 would have been good in 2006 if I had listened to them then!

Maximilian Hecker – I’ll Be Virgin, I’ll Be A Mountain

The Devastations – Coal

Low Vs Diamond – Life After Love EP

Tilly & The Wall – Bottoms of Barrels

Murder By Death– In Bocca Al Lupo

so the 5 from 2006 plus 2 makes for 2007:

New albums from The Shins and Arcade Fire. Hurrah.
