Best of 2006 (Haiku Edition)

Yesterday, while drinking my morning coffee, I listened to The Velvet Underground & Nico and sorted through the music I've collected over the last six months. After mulling over all the albums, I finally decided upon a top six, and (not suprisingly) they're all part of my On Heavy Rotation list.

So, here they are, in alphabetical order, described with really bad haikus.

Band of Horses - Everything all the Time
For a couple of
equines, these guys can really
play. Stellar album.



Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood

With a voice like no

other, she sings with power
and true perfection.



Danielson - Ships
Daniel Smith is weird,

talented, weird, genuine,
weird and groovy. Weird.



The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
Jack White spreads his wings

and leaves Meg behind to rock
in a major way.



Josh Ritter - The Animal Years
Singer/Songwriter

defined. Josh is a poet
who plays music too.



Wolfmother - Wolfmother
Classic rock is back.

Wolfmother picks up where Rush
and The Who left off.
