This doesn't by any means I have run out of ideas to write about. I'm still reviewing albums as usual and will have a few more up within the next few days. Just thought I'd throw a bit of a curve ball here.
So this is something that's usually reserved for December or January, but just in case anyone was curious here are my 25 favorite albums of 2006. (In alphabetical order)
12 Twelve - L’Univers
Apse - Spirit
Black Keys - Magic Potion

Converge - No Heroes
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Eagles of Death Metal - Death by Sexy
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
Isis - In the Absence of Truth
Isis & Aerogramme - In the Fishtank

I think I'm going to try and find more live videos and music videos from artists on this list. The one's that are starred I have already posted about before.
I plan to post a 25 best of 2007 with commentary on why I think each album belongs on the list at the end of this year.
In the name of posting more videos of artists on that list here are two videos. The first is a music video for Grizzly Bear's song "Knife"( a very strange video). The second is a live video of Squarepusher playing "Hello Meow". The tracks from each band can be found on their album that is mentioned above. Both Grizzly Bear and Squarepusher happen to be label mates of Battles on Warp. So, support Warp, they release good stuff.
Grizzly Bear "Knife"
Squarepusher "Hello Meow"
