Popstar Assassins - moderne (2005) (ok downbeat fuzz-rock)
Pomes - the mind-body problem EP (amateurish indie-pop with patchy production)

Jan 7

Checkpoint Charley - songs one through twelve (2005) (bright, shiny radio-ready pop, not bad)
The Come Arounds - what goes around (2005) (playful jangy, surfy-pop with many a nod to the 60's)

Jan 8

Fugo - aie (2005) (booming, spacey rock with a vocalist that emotes a lot like Billy Corgan)
Gravenhurst - fires in distant buildings (2005)* (quaint, dreamy/spacey slowcore)

Jan 9

Horse The Band - the mechanical hand (2005)* (proggy hardcore with lots of hot shit synth licks)
Malegoat - plan infiltration (2005)* (mathy, Braid-like action - short and sweet)
Spare Snare - learn to play (2005)* (peaceful slacker indie-rock)
Zom Zoms - one brain (2005) (zany Devo-esque synth noise nerd-party music)
Willie Wisely - parador (2005)* (straightforward pop songsmith, catchy enough to hit repeat)

Jan 10

Sybris - s/t (2005)* (smashing, epic ethereal gazey type stuff with rough female vocals)
Sunshone Still - dead letters (2005)* (excellent mellow alt.country/folk)

Jan 13

Aberdeen City - the freezing atlantic (2005)* (super dreamy, almost gazey rock - very solid)

Jan 17

Jaime Barnes - paper cranes EP (2006)* (the first great album of 2006...and it's free)
Audiotransparent - nevland (2005)* (superb mope-core with a lot of cozy instrumentation)

Jan 22

David Bavas and The Down Comforter - s/t (2005)* (sweet, mellow acoustic folk - kinda like Pedro The Lion)
Centro-matic - fort recovery (2006)* (hard to dislike anything with Will Johnson's heavenly voice attached to it)
Appleseed Cast - peregrine (2006)* (another fine dreamy effort)
Get Him Eat Him - do as i tell you EP (2006) (one good track, the rest kinda boring)
