OH SHIT OH SIX
FAILURE! This is what note 2006 begins with here at Garagedream. I didn't, Lord help me, have time in my hectic schedule to make a best of 2005 list (DAYUM REAL JOB Y'ALL). All I have to share, unfortunately, is this meager top 10 list (complete with painstaking sixth draft manual notes, just to show you I cared, I REALLY CARED!). Enjoy best you can...
Albums:
10. Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel
9. Clor - Clor
8. Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV
7. The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
6. Antony and the Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now
5. M.I.A. - Arular
4. We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor
3. The Cribs - The New Fellas
2. Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock N Roll
1. Final Fantasy - Final Fantasy Has a Good Home (when I asked Owen Pallett of FF what he though of his album making the top of my list, he replied: "You're a masochist.")
Singles:
10. White Rose Movement - "Love is a Number"
9. Test Icicles - "Circle Square Triangle"
8. Editors - "Bullets"
7. Be Your Own Pet - "Damn Damn Leash"

Heavy on the Brits, as per usual.
