Well, just moments ago as I was logging to start this post, I realized that this is officially the 200th post here at ThaBombShelter. I started ThaBombShelter on Memorial Day this year, and here we are seven months later and 200 posts in the bag. What follows are the Best Songs of 2006 according to us here at ThaBombShelter. Often I would find myself listening to albums that weren't quite up to snuff to warrant a full review, but there was often that one track that was amazing. You may notice that a lot of the [...]

Hey kids, I've been planning this for a few weeks now, so I guess it's time. I was going to try to wait until after XXX-Mas, but that's not gonna happen. What we have here is ThaBombShelter's Top Ten Two-Thousand (T)Six. Hopefully you'll see some artists here that you won't find on some other blogs. If you agree with my choices, disagree (as if!), please, feel free to comment and let me know.

What happens when a seafaring captain and a young airplane pilot named Annalies fall in love? Marital problems and all-out war, of course! Well, that, and a great debut album called Ribbons of War from a band called the Extraordinaires . The album tells the tale of two people that, despite their love for each other, can't get over their passion for the sea and the sky. I'm sure you're already thinking that this sounds like the Decemberists , but there are no "curlews" or "arabesques" on this album, just a great [...]

Way back in February Connor from I Guess I'm Floating posted on a band called The Extraordinaires. Here's a link to his original post (with a few songs from on the band that sums them up fairly well. Their first album, the soaring and operatic masterpiece Ribbons of War (yes, I do think it deserves those adjectves) has easily been one of my favorite ones to listen to this year. If you've not heard it, think The Decemberists with a slightly more country flair. The good news is the band [...]

So I was listening to " In The Aeroplane Over The Sea " today and I actually thought to myself, Man, I wish I could find something else that's this awesome . Little did I know that I would find just that in the form of a band I had never heard of before this evening. Not only did I find a compliment to Neutral Milk Hotel, I managed to stumble across the estranged offspring of NMH and The Decemberists. I started listening and I was immediately taken in by their precise storytelling, their jaunty melodies, [...]
