2006 in music

Not a great year for music, 2006 nonetheless had several standout albums, and a few more worth a listen:

• The Thermals: The Body, the Blood, the Machine
  
• Neko Case: Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
  
• Broken Family Band: Balls
  
• The Octopus Project + Black Moth Super Rainbow: The House of Apples and Eyeballs
  
• The Killers: Sam's Town

Though less compelling, I also enjoyed:

• In-Flight Safety: The Coast Is Clear
  
• The Rest: Atlantis, Oh Our Saviour
  
• Snow Patrol: Eyes Open

Look for more year in review (as well as the ever-popular houseblogging) in the coming days. I've also posted a couple new Six Pictures in the past few days.
