Best of 2006
First of all, let me say that there will be very little music on these lists. (Actually none.) 2006 was a pretty bad year for finding new music (for me at least). I’m sure there was some really good stuff put out last year, but I didn’t come across it and I didn’t spend a whole lot of time looking.
Having said that, I am not restricting any of my lists to things that were actually released in 2006. If I saw/heard/read them for the first time in 2006 (or late 2005 in some cases) they are eligible for my list. I make the rules around here and that’s how I’m gonna roll.
With that said, here are my “Best of 2006″ lists (in no particular order). Feel free to add your own or make fun of mine in the comments. I was gonna comment on each thing, but this is already way late as it is. There are a few things that I’ll probably devote an entire post to, but for now here’s the full list. Everything here is highly recommended so check it out if you have the time.
