The Obligatory Best of List

For the most part, I found 2006 to be pretty underwhelming. There's a lot of stuff I never got around to doing and listening to. I probably won't do it in 07 either. But here's what I think ruled in no particular order.


Time to Kill Space - Celebrity Murders
Yeah, it came out in 05, but the vinyl version came out last year, and that's what matters.

DEATHCYCLE - DEATHCYCLE
Best band ever. Or something. Hard. Sounds like it smells terrible, so it obviously rules.

Crook By Da Book: The Fed Story - Project Pat
This probably actually sucks a lot, but I don't care. I'd listen to the dude rap the phonebook. Tell Tell Tell is one of the best songs of the year.

Guitar Hero II
Fuck the orange button.

The End of Communication - Dead City
Hardest record to come out in forever. Goddamned is some serious shit. Aversion Online has a much better review.

Clerks II
Not as good as the first, but most things aren't as good as that movie. Still hilarious. Significantly less funny when I rewatched it, but apparently the documentary stuff or whatever is pretty good. I'll find out eventually.

Bane/Modern Life Is War/This Is Hell/Outbreak
I finally saw Bane. It was cool. MLIW played a bunch of songs from Witness and weren't as good as last year, but still better than most. This Is Hell didn't cover 108. Outbreak did what I assume they always do, which I assume is awesome.

Heaven's Pregnant Teens - Some Girls
Best way to irritate yourself and others. I think this band keeps getting better as time goes on.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
It's pretty fun. Might be better than OoT. Probably not. Maybe.

Kingdom Come - Jay-Z
Hov rapping about his good credit and not buying rims is still better than everybody else.

Substance - Betrayed
LOVED the 7". This isn't as good as that, but it's still great. Not as much Verbal Assault influence as I had hoped, but whatever. Sounds cool if you turn it up. Not so cool at low volumes.

Hell Hath No Fury - Clipse
Duh. Worth the wait. Perfect record. Nightmares has definitely grown on me, and isn't nearly as disappointing as I originally though.

There's a lot more stuff, but I'm pretty tired of this list right about now. Quick mentions to stuff from This Is Hell, Invade, Lil Wayne, Cat Power, Ghostface Killah, Crime In Stereo, Raekwon, whatever. Fuck 2006.
