Number one on my list would have to be finally moving
to Austin after years of procrastinating.
Number two would have to be grilling out on Christmas
& New Years for the first time in my life.

Now onto the music:
Out of the 139 2005 releases I have, I was hard
pressed to find 20...not the best year for music.

1. Chixdiggit - Pink Razors (In a year where I
listened to a lot of wimpy/mellow music, this disc
kept me from feeling old)
2. Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (for the full
effect, get the Appendix EP)
3. Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
4. South San Gabriel - The Carlton Cronicles
5. Alkaline Trio - Crimson
6. Louis XIV - The Best Little Secrets Are Kept
7. Milton Mapes - The Blacklight Trap (Waiting For
Love To Fail is a favorite of the year)
8. Aqualung - Strange & Beautiful (Brighter than
Sunshine is another favorite)
9. Decemberists - Picaresque
10. Redwalls - De Nova
11. Hold Steady - Separation Sunday
12. Portastatic - Bright Ideas
13. Shivaree - Who's Got Trouble
14. Spoon - Gimme Fiction
15. Mando Diao - Hurricane Bar
16. Limbeck - Let Me Come Home
17. Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff
18. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
19. Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn
20. Feist - Let It Die
