    my favorite 4 albums of 2006:

    1.  Rosie Thomas- These Friends of Mine

    2.  Sufjan Stevens- The Avalanche (all b-sides of his best album of 2005...but still mind blowing)

    3.  My Brightest Diamond- Bring Me the Workhorse

    4.  Bernard- A View Beyond the Cave

    my favorite songs of '06:

    1.  Pittsfield- Sufjan Stevens
