neat little domestic life

so i figured the template deal out. fantastic! all the links were originally red, but i changed them to teal-ish.

MY IDIOTIC 06 ALBUMS LIST:

• the blow - paper television
• sufjan stevens - the avalanche: even though these are outtakes, i love every single track.
• m. ward - post war: great stuff in here. he is so talented.
  
• joanna newsom - ys: it's magical and huge and the lyrics are some of the best i've heard in ages.
  
• danielson - ships
• grizzly bear - yellow house
• the decemberists - the crane wife: the second track is great as is the last as is the whole concept for this album. all around great. i can't stop listening to it!
  
• camera obscura - lets get out of this country: i love camera obscura. they're cute and have great melodies to hum.
  
• swan lake - beast moans
• tv on the radio - return to cookie mountain
• islands - return to the sea: every song on this is great. AWESOME BAND.
  
• belle & sebastian - the life pursuit
• neko case - fox confessor brings the flood
• regina spektor - begin to hope: in my opinion, this isn't her best album. i much prefer everything else she's done, including unreleased demos, but maybe that's because i like her narrative songs without too much instrumentation. she's great when she's just having fun with her voice. but these songs are catchy. apres moi is good.
  
• tilly and the wall - bottoms of barrels: so fun and dance-y. i have bad education as a ring tone.
• final fantasy - he poos clouds
• cat power - the greatest
• sufjan stevens - songs for christmas: i can't not have something he made on this list, even though its just eps and only a few original songs.
  
• jenny lewis with the watson twins - rabit fur coat
• band of horses - everything all the time
• ben kweller - s/t
• anathallo - floating world: i got this album after 06 but i still had to edit the entry and put it up here. it is fantastic. dokkoise house (with face covered) is my favorite track. they are like a cross between sigur ros, sufjan stevens, danielson famile, and maybe joanna newsom because of the lyrics. i don't know. great great great. i don't care that pitchfork gave it a 2.7, claiming every song was like chicago. well you know what? i don't even like chicago all that much so there.
  
• mates of state - bring it back
  

in no particular order, but bolded are my favorites. speaking of music, i might die if i don't get to see of montreal this march. the were originially playing on a saturday night, but that has become a wednesday. atleast it's not during exams! it's an 18+ show as well. i can't imagine why!

i rented election, raising arizona, annie hall, and one flew over the cuckoo's nest after i returned the bbc office second series. that, along with middlesex (over 500 pages) should keep me busy and antisocial for the next three days until real life starts again.

(speaking of real life, i still have to write a bookreport, draw coverart for said book, complete a geometry project, organize my civs binder, complete a biology project on current events, and study vocabulary)

i haven't decided what to do about the new years situation, either. the joys of angstyteendrama!

EDIT: i added some albums to the list and put stupid short comments on the bolded ones.
