Classifications are always misleading and overrated yet they do symbolize what the group think of themselves. Rap means ghetto and rebellius, pop means ‘omg its like so cool’, alternative means exactly what the label indicates, and indie.. well.. its just totally different. The label has no direct corrolation to the sound: its the apex of ecletisism. So with no further ramblings, my tastes of 2005.

    April
    * Stereophonics: “Language. Sex. Violence. Other?” – Great when played really loudly
    * The Killers: “Hot Fuss”
    * Ben Folds: “Songs for Silverman” – I checked every day on iTunes for the day I could download the album
    * Electric Light Orchestra

    May
    * New Order: “Waiting for the Siren’s Call”
    * Brazillian Girls – How can one not like this band’s name.
    * Beck: “Guero”
    * U2 – All of the albums at once, great stuff.
    * Snow Patrol – Hardly new, yet I never heard their Indie roots.

    June
    * Coldplay: “X & Y” – I still have mixed feelings about it
    * Annie: “Anniemal” – Euro Pop!

    July
    * Bright Eyes: “I’m wide awake, it’s morning”

    September
    * KT Tunstal: “Eye to the Telescope”8
    * DJ Shadow – Porbably the only ‘rap’ which I like
    * Modest Mouse: “Good News for People Who Love Bad News”
    * Caesars: “Paper Tigers”

    October
    * Kaiser Chiefs: “Employment”
    * Bloodhound Gang: “Hefty Fine”
    * Death Cab for Cutie
    * Her Space Holiday: “The Young Machines”
    * Elliot Smith: “Figure 8″
    * Jets to Brazil: “Four Cornered Night”
    * Wilco: “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”

    December
    * Rilo Kiley

  • Mint I rarely buy programs, specially small ones. Mint is an exception. It is the most amazing site statistics program I have seen. What makes it so wonderful is its simplicity – it does everything you can imagine and yet is as slick as iTunes.

    Dorm Room Feng Shui: Find Your Gua > Free Your Chi
    By:Katherine Olaksen, Elizabeth MacCrellish, Margaret M. Donahue

    I have not yet read this book but it sounds very interesting. More interesting even is that last year I seemed to have followed a lot of what is in it without knowing.
