Tapes 'n Tapes Matt Kretzmann, keyboards Juana Molina: Son This is a fantastic record. There is a really ethereal quality to her work, and most times while listening to her records I find myself wandering off to some dusty corner of my mind or daydreaming 'til the record stops. This may be a stretch, but her music for me is in many ways reminiscent of listening to a raga. There's kind of a droning quality to it with tones bending in and out, yet still an overarching direction to the music that unfolds in beautiful and strange ways.

The fusion of her voice, acoustic guitar, hand drums, bells, blips, beeps, and birds, to name a few, is really unlike anything I've heard and, all put together, a deep listening experience. Lupe Fiasco: Food & Liquor I saw the video for 'I Gotcha' on music television in the UK recently, and it really knocked me off my chair and put me in a super giddy state.

Hands were in the air, and I may have been dancing from bed to bed. Well, the record is pretty sweet as well. It's slick and slammin' at the same time but I especially like the natural production qualities- live drums and horns in a really satisfying fun party-time record. Josh Grier, guitars/vocals Liars: Drum's Not Dead This album blows my mind. From start to finish it's a complete emotional/psychological experience.

At times it makes me totally uncomfortable. At other times it's just fucking gorgeous. I can't ever listen to just one song off of it.

It would be like watching just one scene from a movie, totally out of context. It's brilliant. Jeremy Hanson, drums Joanna Newsom: Ys I loved The Milk-Eyed Mender, so I had high hopes for this record and I was not disappointed.

I really like the orchestration and allegorical lyrics. She is truly one of the important songwriters of our time. Justin Timberlake: FutureSex/LoveSounds He is stepping up the bar for pop music and himself. Timbaland's drum programming is clean, intelligent, and has an organic feel that is lacking in many types of music. Justin's phrasing contains hints of the great soul singers before him but does so in a way that is fresh and accessible to our generation. That makes this only a semi-guilty pleasure for me.

The Anomoanon: The Derby Ram and Joji It is fucking bizarre that lots of people aren't hip to these guys. The best vibes. Baby Dee: A Book of Songs for Anne Marie Unspeakable piano and vocal. Endless Boogie: 1 and 2 Endless Boogie provides pure insight. Paul Major and Jesper Eklow are currently Earth's strongest guitar team. Major's vocals induce blushing. Isley Brothers: Baby Makin' Music Puts Mr.

Chavez in a great mood. Corel painter 12 torrent windows loader. Slayer: Christ Illusion King and co. Serve up the fresh and tasty jamz. Tom Araya's voice is on the extra strength, lyrics are smart and focused, guitars and drums sound like they're being played by dudes who are psyched. Andrew W.K.: Close Calls With Brick Walls This is the music of dreams. Highly advanced. The first track is the song of 2006.

Sweendog plays some leads on here. Hanoi Jane, Oneida 1. Pink Mountaintops: Axis of Evol 2. Fireball: Blessed Be 3. Black Dice: Broken Ear Record 4.

Extra Golden: Ok-Oyot System 5. Broadcast: The Future Crayon Fat Bobby, Oneida 1. February: Neu! Meets Bob Seger in the locker room. It's the middle of February, and the middle school hockey team I coach is 1-4-1.

Now sure, that tie should've been a win, but even so it's clear my guys need a little inspiration, so I bring in some music for locker-room pump up jams. It seems like the nonstop AC/DC we've been rocking so far is, while serviceable, maybe going a little stale. I make a killer mix, including some Chrome, some Neurosis, and most importantly, 'Hallogallo' by Neu! You know, for focus. Anyway, some of the guys on this team, which is 11-13-year-old boys, are real rockers- and Charlie (a tremendous bass player, by the way) hears that Krautrock chug for about 15 seconds, a grin splits his face, and he starts singing Bob Seger's 'Hollywood Nights' along with it.

And, lo and behold, it works- perfectly. We go on to lose our final two games, but I've never been prouder of my team. May: Liars at All Tomorrow's Parties in Camber Sands, England This amazing performance, the huge crowd totally buying what Liars are selling, and the seaside arcade atmosphere somehow combine for the best live rock moment of the year for me. There aren't many bands that I've seen at least 10 times and still want to see over and over again- maybe just these guys, Oakley Hall, and Dirty Faces. June: Gnarls Barkley: 'Crazy' How often do we get a tight, simple, soulful pop song that does the hucklebuck all over the line between the psychedelic and religious understanding? Not often enough, I realize. October: Sinoia Caves: The Enchanter Persuaded The most powerfully dislocating musical moment of the year for me- walking in an urban wilderness during the New England autumn, transported by drones and blips to some cosmic harvest festival.

I walk around, lost among trees that don't grow naturally on this continent as fall sunshine reassures me that I'll get home eventually, though it's not quite up to me when. I return home and reread Alice in Wonderland later this afternoon. November: Thelonious Monk Musical retrenchment. My idol and greatest inspiration creeps out of the creaking woodwork of my mind, and the next thing you know my living room is piled with LPs I haven't listened to in a lifetime.

I'm inspired to read an article about Monk online, which instantly reminds me why I despise so much jazz and so many of its fans. Sorry, losers, I'm taking back Monk for our side. The Mountain Goats 1. Christine Fellows: Paper Anniversary Because I am a sad music-obsessive whose condition just gets worse every year, I spent a lot of time in 2006 debating whether Paper Anniversary qualified as a 2006 release. After all, it was released in Canada- to much acclaim- in 05.

In the end, I had to conclude that this question was moronic. Christine Fellows is writing better songs than anybody else. Everybody else is actually quite pathetic next to her. Om: Conference of the Birds Completely owned my spring. If anybody ever talks to me at a party using words like the Om dude uses to describe his interest in light and forms and stuff, I'll punch him. But this isn't a party.

It's a big-ass drone, man. Anouar Brahem Trio: La Voyage de Sahar You will get clowned if you tell people that an album of Tunisian oud music is what's totally slaying you lately, so just say it's jazz. The album is incredible, anyhow.

DJ Drama & Lil Wayne: Dedication 2 Lil Eazy E's Cali Untouchable Radio 14 is sorta my favorite mixtape overall this year, because that West Coast sound will always reach me. But lyrically Lil Wayne is perched on a throne made out of skulls, overlooking a desolate plain across which his innumerable inferiors crawl, unable to tolerate the incandescent light of his raw skill. Even his lesser couplets dazzle. Amon Amarth: With Oden on our Side These guys muscled past Regurgitate (barely) and Krisiun and Gorelord and Planes Mistaken for Stars and a whole mess of other great metal albums, and with what? Songs about goin' to war on behalf of the Swedish king. Truly, Johan Hegg is the Lil Wayne of war metal.

Spank Rock: YoYoYoYoYo I have no idea why a hip-hop record this inventive didn't make a bigger dent in the public consciousness. Whilst it is still a bit drum-machine heavy, you can forgive it when the breadth of style and cheek extends this far. Tom Waits: Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards He's almost the Madonna of the leftfield, he's so ubiquitous. I'm sure this overlong but suitably brilliant record will appear in many end-of-year charts. My excuse is that I first heard him aged 11 and have grown pubic hair whilst listening to his voice creak up and down the scales like the rusty car springs in Eddie Grace's Buick. Mica Levi: Blank Blank Blank Not quite a fair addition as it's not out yet, but it falls neatly in my 2006. Amongst many other sonic ticks, it has a little of Spank Rock and Tom Waits.

Spank Tom, I suppose. Britain produces its first grime/singer-songwriter crossover. Not fair to be this interesting at 19.

Holden: The Idiots Are Winning Just sneaking in before the end of the year. Predictable in a way, since dance music has long needed a decent, inventive artist album.

Listening to twelve inches in record shops, and waiting for the genres to inch forward has become akin to wading through treacle. This one has both dance floor gunt and brain twitching noises to push it head and shoulders above the soggy mass. Matmos: The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast A record with extraordinary noises on it. Sonic surprise is a harder and harder trick to pull off, but Martin and Drew manage it with aplomb here.

Some ballsier production might help one or two tracks lift off from their conceptual moorings, but churlish to suggest that this is anything other than the next in a series of vital, purposeful and considered albums. Ed Droste, Grizzly Bear 1. Hot Chip: The Warning I've worn this CD out twice and gotten a third copy. I just like to sing along to it, and I love their harmonies and videos.

If I could, I'd hit the road and be a Hot Chip groupie. Final Fantasy: He Poos Clouds Okay, I'm a little biased here, but this is a fine, fine album from a fine, fine man. TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain Quite obviously the album of the year, across the board, for everyone. There's a reason why: It's just simply excellent and endlessly listenable.

The Knife: Silent Shout I've been in love with this band for a few years now, and when all the sudden success hit them this time around for Silent Shout, I was beyond excited, as I just think they rule all around. The last spot is a tie between Girl Talk's Night Ripper and Chad VanGaalen's Skelliconnection.

Barbara Morgenstern 1. AGF 3 & SUE.C: Minimovies AGF is one of the most active and adorable female electronic musicians. She keeps on working on her sound like a scientist, and that's what I like about her music.

Her album with short films by SUE.C is totally inspiring to me. She's creating soundscapes but never finishes the idea, which makes it so interesting.

The short films by SUE.C are made of photo stills, very beautiful and perfectly fitting to the music. Hot Chip: The Warning Hot Chip is the new thing- I know, but after I saw them live this summer I fell in love with them. A bunch of good dance-energy! And of course I love their latest album. The Books: Thought for Food The Books invented their own music - the new album just follows this idea. I will go to see a concert on December 16- I can't wait!

James Figurine: Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake combines electronic music with very touching lyrics ('Forgive your friends'). The whole album is a perfect mixture of human and machine. Super 700: Super 700 Super 700 is a young band from Berlin. Their single 'Here Goes the Man' touched me the first time I heard it on the radio. They combine pop guitar music with strange harmonies- a thing in music I'm absolutely looking for all the time. Dancehall Style If you don't have much time to check out 12's this one is a quick reminder of how much good stuff is coming out of this genre.

Shinehead's 'Billie Jean' is awesome. The Roots: Game Theory Not as good as some of their records but still keeping the bar high. My favorite hip-hop group? Wayne Shorter: Beyond the Sound Barrier Excellent 'jazz' album, recorded live. One of the most inspiring records of the year. Sonic Youth: Rather Ripped I'm a huge fan of the group, and they don't disappoint even after all these years.

Hanoi Rocks: Up Around the Bend: The Definite Collection HmmI guess I'm homesick or something. Old Finnish glam rock. Have no explanation for this. Me'Shell NdegeOcello: Dance of the Infidel Quite interesting stuff. Always been a fan of her stuff. Jenny Lewis 1. Whispertown 2000: Livin' in a Dream If Randy Newman and Lucinda Williams did it in a New York minute, it might sound like this.

This record has some of my favorite lyrics, ever. Bob Dylan: Modern Times Somehow, this sounds like a Christmas record. Santa, you ain't gonna work for me no more! Lil Wayne: Tha Carter II I feel a kinship with Lil Wayne, because we both made our first mil before we were 17.

'Fuck bitches, get money.' Ward: Post-War This record puts me in a trance. Not an evil or murderous trance, but a happy, old-timey one.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Stadium Arcadium 1 for the now, 11 for the later? John Frusciante's guitar tone and background vocals are dreamy. I didn't see it, but apparently these guys tore up Fuji rock.
