Tam and I are hard at work on our Best Of 2006 lists, which set me to thinking about my list of 2005’s best releases. Looking over it now, there are a few things that were missing (most notably, The Decemberists’ Picaresque, which I didn’t start listening to until this year) and some albums probably should have been higher up (especially Maximo Park). I still love each and every one of them, but I was curious about which albums I still listen to regularly. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah somehow makes its way into my stereo pretty often. I’ll probably never go very long without listening to something by The White Stripes or Ryan Adams. Both of last year’s Bright Eyes albums are still up there with my favorites.
But the thing that surprised even me is that the 2005 album I probably listen to most often is The Magic Numbers. It’s no secret that I absolutely adore those guys, but there’s some really amazing albums on that there list. But nope, it’s not the Arcade Fire or Franz Ferdinand that I just keep loving more and more, it’s those lovely Magic Numbers. Here’s my favorite from their debut album.
The Magic Numbers - I See You, You See Me
