Best of 2006

I haven't had the time to write my own best of 2006 so I recommend that you take a gander at Papa Slumberland's list.

The highlights for me from that list are:

• Lily Allen - Alright, Still (Regal, UK)
• Burial - Burial (Hyperdub, UK)
• Herbert - Scale (Accidental, UK)
• Rhythm & Sound - See Mi Yah 12" remix series (Rhythm & Sound, Germany)
• v/a - CD86 (Castle/Sanctuary, UK)

Really that's just the stuff I own off of Mike's list. I intend to get it all eventually. I also enjoyed:

• Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass (Matador)
• The Concretes - The Concretes in Colour (Astralwerks)
• Peter, Bjorn, and John - Writer's Block (Wichita)
• Ellen Allien and Apparat - Orchestra of Bubbles (Bpitch Control)
• Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country (Merge)
• Thom Yorke - The Eraser (Xl Recordings)
