As some of you may be aware, I haven't been listening to a whole lot of music lately -- but I have been getting back into it, slowly. I've finished a handful of records this month and have even purchased a few new ones.

That said, I haven't been paying attention to new releases at all, so I've sort of missed out on 2006 entirely, save the recent releases from Matmos & Ornette, two of my few new purchases. I honestly just don't know what's out there, so I'm asking the knowledgeable folks at Radio Mute who know my tastes, what music from 2006 should I care about?

Any assistance would be appreciated, although my suspicion is that this will turn into a "Satchmo call for help" thread, but maybe not. All parties are welcome to contribute and I will consider any and all suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Here're the two best of 06 posts I made:



Both are in order of preference. I know there isn't very much of the really experimental stuff that you like on there, but I think there're at least a few you'd be in to, certainly on the jazz list, anyway.

Wolves in the Throne Room, Enslaved, Red Sparowes...

Well, I listen to (or used to, I suppose, ) nearly every artist on those lists anyway, so there's no worries as to whether I'll like the artist or not.

You know, anything good.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I liked "Girls of Summer" by Aerosmith, even though mainly because of the video.

*cough*

I promise not to stop spreading Sebaitus to anymore of you!






To paraphrase:

Than this of Seba and his lack of 2006 music.

O Brothaman, Brothaman wherefore art thou Brothaman?

P.S. Have you actually caught up to 2005 to be concerned with 2006?


You have been holed up a good time now, afterall.

That sounds more like this one, to me.

No talking from the ranks!
