Well it's that time of year again, make a list, check it twice, find out who... oh you know the rest. While I continue pondering over my choices for the best albums of 2006 I'd thought I'd give you some of my picks for the best singles, or should've been singles of the year. To avoid the typical ranked from worst to first I've sorted them by length from shortest to longest, because isn't a single really about the making the biggest impact in the least amount of time. So without further ado here's the first 10 songs [...]
State Fair - The Shrinking Islands Swallowed In Grace - The Shrinking Islands Allow me to point out the elephant in the room.

Top 25 Albums of 2006 11 to 25
Well it's finally here, after much debating and changing and rearranging my top 25 albums of 2006. Most likely it should be called favorite 25 as it's all subjective anyway, and if I did it again next week it would most likely change. I'm sure everyone will find something to agree or disgree with here, but these are the ones that spent the most time in my cd player.iPod,etc. They are the ones I enjoyed listening to the most. All in all it was a pretty good year for music. So, kick back and enjoy, add a comment if you [...]

Native Light is awash in cymbals and subtle guitar parts that set a perfect opening tone, just like the calm before the first light of day. Then the real trip begins, seven more songs filled with chiming guitars, melodic bass lines and earnest vocals interwoven into jangling pop gems. Wander through State Fair as the song slowly builds to a an alternating dance of guitar and bass counterpoints. Try not to sing along to my personal [...]
