dark drug/rape pop of the highest order, like Lynch directing his next film as a teen oriented R'n'B pop song;
This is what Pazz 'n' Jop comments hath wrought. Shame, Christgau, shame.

Basement Jaxx - Crazy Itch Radio

what song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year.

"Crazy," of course. That song owned the 2006 pop music world so much that I can't believe it never made it to #1.

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year

that Boom Selection bastard pop mp3 mix CD thing

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year.

Ween - "Flutes of the Chi"

t.i. king, nothing else even close

what song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year.

something off king, no doubt. probably "i'm talkin to you." possibly "what you know" or "i'm straight." non-king song would be "pull shapes," pipettes.

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year(for some of you, and i'm not naming names, this will probably be Tusk).

i don't really know, but acid by ray barretto seems likeliest.

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year.

no idea. my ipod would know but it's r.i.p. for fun, i'll say "11:59" by blondie, because i played the hell out of that song for a while.

Album 2006: Didn't listen lots to any new album, though I had Brooke Hogan's Undiscovered on constant play for the week it was up on the AOL Listening Party.

Song 2006: Blog 27 "Hey Boy," 'cause I watched this astonishingly great Gang Oscypa lipsynch a hundred times. Da girls are here and we da swingflies! [I'm pretty sure the single was this year; at least in some countries.]

Album not-2006: Ashlee Simpson Autobiography.

Single not-2006: Aly & A.J. "Rush" (late '05, but it's going on my 2006 P&J ballot 'cause this was its year of maximum impact); most played at home and most heard on the radio, nothing else comes close. Into your head, into your mind, out of your soul, race through your veins, you can't escape, you can't escape.

Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I think my most played albums this year were Ron Goedert's Breaking All the Rules, the Three O'Clock's Arrive Without Travelling, and the first Klaatu album. Most played song was probably something from one of those. Most played new album was the new of Montreal album which doesn't actually come out 'til after the first of the year.

Tim Ellison is number one proponent of Beatle!!!Mania!!! on nu-ILX (tim ellison), Sunday, 10 December 2006 02:08 (seventeen years ago) link

2006 album: I mean, I don't know but Ringleader of the Tormentors I suppose, closely followed by Silent Shout and El Perro del Mar.

2006 track: not counting crap heard day in, day out of local radio at work - "Young Folks" or "LDN".

Non06 album: London 0 Hull 4; now in it's twentieth year, and 'still' 'going' 'strong'.

Non06 track: "The Sun a Small Star", The Servents.

Richard C (avoid80), Sunday, 10 December 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh wait, Back in Denim was reissued. But I was listening to it a lot this year before I got the reissue.

Richard C (avoid80), Sunday, 10 December 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

2006 album jesu, "silver", by a country mile. if that doesn't count as a full-length album, then "violence and birdsong" by union of knives.
2006 track christ knows. i really can't think. rihanna, "sos"? kasabian, "empire"? (still an awesome track, despite their hatefulness and the shitness of the album.) the spinto band, "mandy"? the divine comedy, "a lady of a certain age"? one of them. rihanna probably edges it.

non-2006 album earl brutus, "your majesty … we are here", edges it over the last ladytron album (which i discovered right at the start of the year) and "pacific ocean blue".
non-2006 track the chameleons, "swamp thing".

it's been a funny old year.

grimly fiendish (simon), Sunday, 10 December 2006 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

1. either greg kelley/jason lescalleet - love me two times or sound grammar.
2. uhh i really didn't listen to many 06 tracks at all! maybe beyonce "ring the alarm" because of the video.
3. gilberto gil/jorge ben - gil e jorge
4. 4g - yellow cloud

I don't have a way of doing the other two questions via iTunes, so I'm going to guess

Total guess:

2006 album: Rodrigo y Gabriela - Rodrigo y Gabriela
2006 song: Prince - Black Sweat

non-2006 album: Ahmad Jamal - Jamal Plays Jamal
non-2006 song: Nice and Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow

I think this thread highlighted what I feel to be the greatest weakness of 2006: not one of my favourite 12-13 albums of the year made me obsessed for any length of time. I was aware of this fact before the thread began, and felt rather irritated about it subconsciously. But it took this thread to make me give any real thought.

Anyway, I've tried quite a few new (and old) things because of this thread and I gotta say you guys were right about the Knife "Silent Shout". Believe it or not, I heard that for the first time tonight right after hearing Ultravox's "Vienna" album for the first time in its entirety. Really speechless at both albums right now. So much of the time synthesizer new wave era music seems shallow, throwaway to me, like bubblegum pop too thin to even blow any bubbles in. These two sound so substantial next to all that. What a breath of fresh air! Thanks ILM.

Half Man Half Biscuit's Back In The DHSS

God bless you for mentioning it!! Never known a single soul who appreciated this one. I still have it on vinyl, in fact, and will probably pull it out very soon here, just because of you. "Reasons To Be Miserable" was my favourite.

Bimbler (Sourkraut), Sunday, 17 December 2006 08:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, the only thing I myself can contribute to this poll with any certainty is the non-2006 song I played most this year: French singer Armande Altai's "Balance-toi Lola, seule sous la luna, nue dans les lilas" which despite the long title is actually very catchy. It comes from 1983 and was produced by MARTIN HANNETT and he makes the guitars sound exactly like Joy Division. But don't try to find it on vinyl unless you want to pay through the nose for what may be a scratchy LP.

Bimbler (Sourkraut), Sunday, 17 December 2006 09:01 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not available on CD either unless you can get your hands on the her "Remembo" CD in which case I'll be your best friend for life.
