Girl Talk - "Animal Behavior"
Guided By Voices - "Alien Lanes"
Prodigy - "The Dirtchamber Sessions"
Mountain Goats - "Heretic Pride"
Company: 2006 Cast Recording
The Thermals - "The Body, The Blood, The Machine"
MadLib - "Beat Konducta Vols. 3 & 4: In India"

Great stuff!  I managed to score one of the 200 pressed on white vinyl.  I hope to sell it for $4,589 in 2032 after adding red/orange/green/silver/black swirls as an ode to Mayor Ziegler.

I was listening to L.A.M.F. yesterday.   

If you like that pick up his "So Alone" solo album.  If you do you can hear him sing at the beginning on London Boys "You best believe I'm from New Port Richey."

I didn't have favorite albums (save the Bottomless Pit album and ep) but I found lots to like about the music I came across last year.

Here is a link to a blog with a couple of downloadable files of all my favorite tunes from last year.  Of course Turlet made the cut.

Hope you like it!

Happy New Year Happy Mix

YES YES YES!  The "Congress" ep this year was perfect. 

Others this year:
The New Year
Dianogah "Qunnnl"
Thalia Zedek "Liars and Prayers"
Ladyhawk "Shots"--this might be my favorite record of the year. 
Neil Young "Time Fades Away"--I listened to it 4 times in a row one day.  Now it's on a loop in my head. 
A couple songs off the new Centro-matic record are really, really good. 
Soccer Team "Volunteered" Civility and Professionalism

Not a crappy year at all.
