Yell Fire - Michael Franti and Spearhead

[Stefan]

the "cold war kids" kick taint

[Off_White]

All these, new to me this year, have seen heavy rotation of late:

 

The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday (as if Springsteen remembered how to rock and actually did drugs)

 

The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine (brilliant punk rock concept epistle about life under a christian cult)

 

The Evens (Ian MacKaye and his girlfriend form a largely acoustic band that can travel in a small car)

 

The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site (Winnipeg band makes the most heart wrenchingly lovely album I've heard in a long time.)

[rob]

Mudhoney -- Under a Billion Suns

[bwrts]

Not sure on my absolute favorite new album, but I did really dig BTS's new set:

Built to spill- you in reverse

 

Started listening to Fiasco this year and they rock for sure; Local Seattle Band

Jesus christ am i tried of hearing this phrase on everything.

 

 

This is a commonly used strategy by those who have absolutely nothing to say, yet want to boost their post count. I agree, it is tired.

 

BEST ALBUMs i've been listening to in '06:

Bobby Bare Jr - The Longest Meow (2006; alt-pop-country, but good)

Ryan (not Bryan) Adams & the CArdinals - Cold Roses (2006; jam-tinged alt-country, but good)

Mofro - Lochloosa (2004; soulful blues w/ a little rock, but good)

Black Keys - Chulahoma (2006; straight up blues w/ edge, but good)

 

[dan_forester]

the tiredest phrase is the one having the most postings...I must have nothing to say

 

except that the coolest music I heard all year long was the 1976 Neville brothers album Wild Tchoupitoulas

 

and I think some of you kids are making up these band names

[Dechristo]
