Good selections with the Roots and TV on the Radio. A few personal favs that I would include are: The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Gnarls Barkeley - St. Elsewhere Thom Yorke - The Eraser Don't forget to take a moment of silence in remembrance now that both CBGB's and James Brown are gone. RIP

Thanks for reminding me about CBGB's and James Brown...RIP... Two great legends gone. Good choices! I forgot that Yes, Virgina came out this year...it seems so far away! And you know how I love the Raconteurs and Gnarls Barkeley, especially the arrangement and performance of "Crazy" on that website. Thanks for showing it to me... Happy New Year! :)

In addition to CBGBs, The Continental (near St. Marks place) also closed its doors in 2006.

Some of my favorites are Fox Confessor Brings the Flood by Neko Case, Eye to the Telescope by K.T. Tunstall (think it was 2006), and Rabbit Fur Coat by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins (Lewis is the singer for Rilo Kiley and also sings with the Postal Service). I'm sure I'm forgettingn a few of my real favs... maybe I'll think of them later.

I feel the same way...I mentioned a few albums, but I had many more favorites, like Muse. I love the Postal Service and I like KT Tunstall. Both of their music is very addicting! Thanks for your comment!
