2006 Top Ten

It's been a good year. And now that I'm a music blogger, it's my god-given right, nay duty, to summarize it (musically speaking) in a good ol' top-ten list. Here goes...

7. Girl Talk - Night Ripper
8. Ladyhawk - Ladyhawk*
9. Grandaddy - Just Like The Fambly Cat

*Just a week into the new year, I really have to add Grizzly Bear's Yellow Houses to this list. Probably at the expense of Ladyhawk. Sorry guys.
