Kev,
Nice list. I really liked Cassadaga and would have put Bright Eyes on the list in lieu of any of the following bands(not that there is anything wrong with them):
Architecture in Helsinki
Spoon
Voxtrot
Blonde Redhead
Yeah, I agree it was good, but for me it didn't stand up to their previous work or a lot of the other bands for the year.
Nice list. We have a lot of common favorites from the year. I have to say, I haven't heard of Allen Bishop but the rest are top notch. I can't remember any super good movies this year but if I saw Darjeeling Unlimited, I would have probably liked it. That, and Juno or Sweeney Todd would have been up there. I guess Control would be my pick of the year. How about best TV shows of the past year? I'd say definitely 30 Rock (even though it premeired in '06) and Lost (solid as ever). I'm looking forward to seeing Blonde Redhead in two weeks. The night prior, The Editors, Hot Hot Heat and Louis XIV come to Boston it should be a fun time.
