I had a feeling I was going to leave out something really important and obvious on my 2006 Top 10s, and sure enough...

Apologies to our Scottish friends, but Belle and Sebastian have been bumped from the list to make room for I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness. Shame on me for forgetting one of the most amazing records of the year.

To repent for the oversight, links to two of the best music videos of the year: According to Plan and the beautiful wrist slasher The Owl.

Also, file under "where are they now?"/"I'm a complete dumbass for not knowing this", I only recently learned that ILYBICD are produced by Ministry's Paul Barker. (No wonder that bass line on According to Plan sounds familiar - it has Lard all over it.)
