I went to see Wolfmother this Saturday and even though I was late to a koncert for the first time in ages, it was a “Wolfmotherfucking” prime time.

Andrew Stockdale opened up Colossal with: “Ready for some in-your-face-heavy???”.
The following video might not be the best, but it really gives you a glimpse of the show.

Favorite albums of 2006

When Flaming Lips released At War with the Mystics and after seeing their fantastic live show, I would never have thought that they wouldn’t be on my top 10 list of favorite album of 2006. But this proved to be the case after a year with a buck load of terrific albums with superb music.
My Latest Novel released at unique debut and it took me several considerations not to give it the top spot. But Black Holes And Revelations contained super summer hits for the whole year – even wintertime. An achievement which was impossible to overlook. Their personal mixture of indie rock, electronica, progressive rock and heavy metal really came into it’s own on this album.
The Decemberists takes indie pop even further wth The Crane Wife. Based on an old Japanese tale, the album is a huge ambitious project that succeeds in every way. This stuff really grows on you.
The Thermals, The Mondo Generator and Cursive RUBAR (Rock Us Beyond All Recognition) and takes no prisoners. (Yes, I have seen Saving Private Ryan recently.)

No more talking. Here they are, my favorite albums of 2006:

  1. Muse – Black Holes And Revelations
  2. My Latest Novel – Wolves
  3. The Decemberists – The Crane Wife
  4. The Thermals – The Body, the Blood, the Machine
  5. Tunng – Comments of the Inner Chorus
  6. The Mondo Generator – Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails
  7. Cursive – Happy Hollow
  8. Ratatat – Ratatat: Classics
  9. Guillemots – Through the Window Pane
  10. Band of Horses – Everything All the Time

The year 2006 wouldn’t be complete without listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Show Your Bones, TV On The Radio – Return to Cookie Mountain, The Flaming Lips – At War With the Mystics, Swan Lake – Beast Moans, Annuals – Be He Me, Midlake – The Trials of van Occupanther, Loose Fur – Born Again in the USA
