Well, 2005's music releasing is over, and I know for a fact that we have plenty of music fans here. I was wondering what other people's top music choices are?

Beck - Guero

Explosions in the Sky - How Strange, Innocence

The Fiery Furnaces - EP

Nashville Skyline - Todd Snider

 

Check Todd out and you'll be glad you did. What's his music like? Hmmm, a young Bob Dylan with a sense of humor and a shot of Tom Petty thrown in. He's an incredible song writer and really funny. If you've ever heard of him it's probably his song, "Beer Run."
