Top 10 Records of 2006 Wrap Up

So it’s Christmas Eve, the time for last minute holiday shopping if you are the procrastinating kind like me.

This isn’t going to be of help to you procrastinators but John Battelle asked me to put the entire Top 10 list into a single linkroll so he could easily purchase what he liked from the list.

I’ve done that and taken it one step further. I’ve published the entire Top 10 series as an Amazon list so you can buy ala carte or if you so desire, you can purchase all twelve records with the push of one button. That would make one hell of a holiday gift. Trust me on that one.

But 2006 is almost over. It’s time to look forward to 2007. And I am already aware of three tremendous records that are coming out in early 2007 that will almost surely be on my top 10 list next year. Because I like to look forward so much more than looking back, I’ll end this series of posts with links to three killer records to pre-order for 2007.

The Shins – Wincing The Night Away
Of Montreal – Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank (not yet up on Amazon)

Enjoy!

Good call about the "hell of a holiday gift." Rest assured, I've forwarded the link to my wife in case she's got some last minute shopping to do.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, Fred!

I am extremely jealous you are getting a crack at the new shins album. The new single warms my bones (my real limbs), good stuff. I just completed my top 25 also. Somewhat similar, but also different. I am impressed at the love thrown to the arctic monkeys with the EP and the LP. I admit there are songs on the LP I liked more than on the EP. I have heard everything but the Minus 5, picking that up now. Enjoy Italia.

I'm particularly excited for the Good, the Bad, and the Queen album coming out in Jan...
