These guys are great. New stuff is solid, looking forward to October 2007 for their second cd release. Go get their first album “Everything All the Time” while you wait. Not sure on the new song names. Number 1 seems obvious enough, 6 is correct, 11 is hard to tell - the night and i??, and 12 should be the name of the song - but probably isnt. Great covers too. Enjoy!! -Basshead

Sugarkane’s Top 50 Albums of 2006

2006 was a great year for me, and the main reasons are mostly related to music. I decided to do this list in December because i wanted to learn about as much music as possible, and what I thought would take a few days ended up taking almost 2 months, but it was extremely educational for me and i feel very good about this list. There were so many albums that I would like to give props to and cutting it down to 50 was hard. On a technical note, I went by U.S. release date with the exception of Laura’s Radio Swan Is Down (It was released in Australia over a year ago and has no U.S. release date). Feel free to blast it:
