very much enjoying the 2006 discs which have come in so far. loads of stuff I would never have heard, or even heard of .
for instance: Peter Bjorn and John, 15 minutes of strangely compelling drone rock from some guys called Om, the new LP by Six Organs of Admittance, CSS, Tuung, Grizzly Bear, and the best track title so far this year - 'our operators are masturbating' by Dr Octagon.
the Grauniad has compiled a chart of charts from the mags and websites, finding Hot Chip to be the LP of the year. Not had a single track from it yet on the compilations...but I liked the sound of the Burial album, might take a punt on it in Selectadisc tomorrow.
best of all though - 'One Track Lover', by Dr Lucien Sanchez

Assume someone picked Young Folks? Great single. Her what used to be from out the Concretes, and a whistling solo. Really like it. Erol Alkan remix may have made my disc were it not for Dig It having been top of my shortlist all year (talking of The Concretes, one of the years most under-rated albums).
Guardian list is a bit bleak really. I suppose I'm smarting from neither Cat Power nor Belle and Sebastian being in the top 10; both are a lot better than some in that list. Hot Chip is a good album though - surprised that Boy from School hasn't made anyone's 2006 disc. Looking forward to giving a couple of discs another spin on the way up the M1 today.
that voice was very familiar! Her what used to be from out of the Concretes - good call!
