Congrats ahead of time to Tapes 'n' Tapes for likely being this year's most popular ambiguous release date album.

Heck, someone added "Tapes 'n Tapes - The Loon" to charts in December 2005, but that didn't stop "Tapes n Tapes - The Loon" from being added as a 2006 release later.

fastnbulbous had The Loon on his '03 best-of-year list, since he had heard a demo copy of what became the album in Sept '03. But, sure, it only featured one of the individuals that went on to form Tn'T, & was recorded under the name "Maw of America", but, yeah... You people, with the advent of file-sharing & internet-shopping (for import copies), should have been on to Tapes n' Tapes awhile ago.

i'm so far behind the bandwagon all the horsesh|t i step on is all dried up.

I only came up with about 23 albums that I listened to more than once. But my list is pretty much done.

I'm going to hold off on submitting just in case I do get the Ben Kweller for Christmas.

So, today as I sat down in my office to check messages and do the usual favorites check..I see that many sites have their best of 2006 lists up. God, how I love making this list every year. Then I realise how much I miss talking about music in general , since I abrubtly stopped posting here and anywhere quite awhile ago. I was a regular from the CMJ board and early obner. So I type obner into the old Y! box and here I am, I still see some familiar names, and mostly ones I do not know. Anyway..ayah, FT, Pop Todd whatever your new name is, Spontaneous Poet..others...I don't know what kept me away for so long, and I'm glad to be back. Does Kevin Haley still frequent these parts ?

go to "charts" and then put "2006" in the year field and click "search." that should bring up every 2006 release. they'll be scattered over several pages, but it'll just be the ones on the drop list on the poll site.

Todd. So good to see you mate....always appreciated your take on things as well..and you will be assisting me in my probably vain effort to chart "Rockford"?

Thanks, Z... actually, I was looking to see a one page list of all the stuff, so I cut/pasted into a makeshift gif file... if anyone else wants it, see it here:

Also, keep in mind it won't show any late additions to the poll.

I have missed this place. Thanks for the warm welcome back. Life got intensely crazy for awhile. Things have chilled. I am back to stay.

Oddly enough, we just had a new house built, and the week before moving in, my wife fell and broke her arm right at the elbow. It still hasn't completely healed yet, but I think we got off much easier than you and yours, by comparison. Hope things keep getting better, Greg!

I'm unsure how to add albums to the listings. Any suggestions? (besides "Go away, you stupid girl moron").
