The best music according to Robin: 2005
I have not blogged in a while. I've been kind of busy and lazy at the same time. But I was just compiling my "best of" list for the year. I might need to make a few changes because I feel like I'm leaving something out, but here goes:
These are in no order. It's hard enough for me to make a list of favorites, I certainly can't order them!
1. Sigur Ros - Takk
2. Doves - Some Cities
3. Stellastarr* - Harmonies For the Haunted
4. Idlewild - Warnings/Promises
5. Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
6. Starsailor - On The Outside
7. Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
8. Turin Brakes - Jackinabox
9. iSOLA - Loud Alarms
10. Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
There were plenty of other albums that I listened to this year, but those are my top 10. I want to add 'Leaders of the Free World' by Elbow because I know it's good, but I don't think I've listened to it enough yet for it to warrant a top 10 spot. I also want to add 'Road to Rouen' by Supergrass, because it's going to be one of those albums that I really start getting into in 2006....I'm already a fan of it, but it's still kind of new to me. Many people are putting Bloc Party, Maximo Park, The Bravery, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Magic Numbers in their TOP album lists this year. While I think all of those bands had some good songs this year...the complete albums just didn't do it for me. But that's just my opinion. I didn't put Coldplay on my list either. I really like 4-5 songs on the album, but I just didn't think it deserved to be in the list. It makes me a little bit sad, too, because I was looking forward to it's release the most in 2005.
Snow Patrol is back in the studio and should be releasing something in 2006. I don't think they are a very good live band, but I loved 'Final Straw,' so I'm interested in hearing what they come out with next year! I'm hoping Travis will release a new record next year, as well. They are very overdue and I need some new tunes from them ASAP!
Christmas is 2 weeks away. I can't wait to go home! I will blog more later about what's been keeping me busy and lazy. :)

The Supergrass record is so awesome! Definitely on my top list of the year!! Get into it now!! I can't believe the Doves record came out this year. Seems like way over a year ago. I'll have to start compiling my list too. Its just so hard!!
Ok, where is your Spirit...how about the best X-mas songs:
-Driving Home for X-mas, Chris Rea

-Mary's Boy Child, J. Mathis
-2000 miles, Pretenders
-The X-mas Song, N.K. Cole
-I Believe in Father X-mas, Greg Lake

You scumbag, you maggot,
You cheap lousy faggot.
Merry Christmas my @rse,
