Brian, I hadn't heard that Taxiride put out a new one. Can you give us a little review?

back catalog offset the overall tally for me, so here's my list of favorite
2005 releases...
1. THE RUBINOOS - Twist Pop Sin
2. CHECKPOINT CHARLEY - Songs One Through Twelve
3. PAUL McCARTNEY - Chaos And Creation In The Backyard
4. TAXIRIDE - Axiomatic
5. SPOCK'S BEARD - Octane
6. THE CHURCHILLS - The Odds Of Winning
7. HAL - s/t
8. ANOUSHKA SHANKAR - Rise
9. RINGO STARR - Choose Love
10. SWIRL 360 - California Blur
11. THE CLICK FIVE - Greetings From Imrie House
12. AIMEE MANN - The Forgotten Arm
13. THE DARKNESS - One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back
14. METAL MAJESTY - 2005 [this isn't really metal as much as Queen-like]
15. THE POSIES - Every Kind Of Light
16. BIG STAR - In Space
17. SPARKWOOD - Jalopy Pop
There are others that interested me but available cash has been scant since
I had to move a few months back. Also I absolutely love Roger Manning's
"Solid State Warrior" but I don't consider it an album until it is released
in a hard copy format (sorry, call me a fetishist but downloads with their
lo-fi sound just don't do it, and they don't seem so official minus the
accoutrements of artwork and liner notes). But it comes out via Pony Canyon
(Japan) next month so not too long to wait...
