Best Music 2006 - Chris Manfrin

rob,

sorry i'm getting this to you all late like.

here's my list.

in no particular order.

it's more of a list of things i listened to repeatedly in 2006, which are not necessarily current.

here we go..

1. mastodon - 'blood mountain'

2. meshuggah - 'catch 33'

2a. the bronx - s/t

3. dalek - 'absence'

4. grinderman - s/t

5. sunn o)))/boris - 'altar'

6. rufus wainwright - i only have a comp. cd a friend made for me, but damn, it's all great.

7. drive like jehu - 'yank crime'

8. film school - s/t (yes, they sound like the an 80's manchester band fronted by robert smith, but i don't care.)

9. band of horses - 'everything all of the time'

10. hot snakes - 'automatic midnight'

honorable mention... 3 are irrelevant to music in general

1. a band from l.a. called la rev. they're a little wonky right now, but they'll certainly become great. darkwave garage rock fronted by my furture wife. (i wish...)

2. if you don't already, watch frisky dingo and the venture bros. on adult swim

3. shadow of the colossus for the ps2

4. motogp. check it out.

hope you're well mister. give my best to tara and dex. i miss you man.
