My favorite music thing about this year was hellacopters…even though they're an old band getting into them was awesome.
of the stuff that came out this year i really liked the nick cave, north mississippi allstars, franz ferdinand, tricky, and daft punk… there may be other things I'm forgetting..certainly things i'm overlooking..
i expected more from some of my sacred cows: phoenix, bowie (as much as I wanted to love it in only like it), andres calamaro and babasonicos….
i actually read a lot more great books than anything else…

I listen to it a fair amount. Slow and depressing probably describes a good deal of the music I listen to.

The Wrens is the only one I listen to with regularity 10 years on. I have a few of the Idlewild and Joe Strummer tracks on playlists. The other albums I probably haven't listened to in 3-4 years.
Funny. I loved that year of music too, and yet I might only listen to the Postal service album with any regularity from
my list…although I did put that Supergrass album on a few weeks ago and enjoyed it.
