The Year and the Morning After, girls
The Morning After Girls are really very good. Sydney band you've probably heard of before: they sound like early dandys and the brian jonestown massacre. Here are two songs:

h i s k i e s (right click, 'save target as')
And for blogging sake: what was the 5 best tracks, 5 best albums and 5 best films of 2005.2005 has also been a year of bust-ups; Jack White finally divorced Meg and married a Scarlett woman, Nick and Jessica broke, Julian Casablancas separated with the bottle to be with his employer and Paris left Paris. Who will get together and fail in 2006? Condeleeza Rice and Samuel L Jackson?, Bob Dylan and Shania Twain?, Tony Abbott and George Pell?
I can't think of mine yet, so i will include them in the comments.
Love and Merry Christmas, Dave.

Come on someone else have a go!!
ok, here goes:
albums (incl. standout tracks) in no real order:
1. spoon - gimme fiction: good album, standout being 'two sides of...'
2. bloc party - silent alarm: this modern love, luno, helicopter...who can argue
3. futureheads - impressive debut from these lads, cant go past hounds of love for mine (bravo dave). really cool live too
4. nick cave double album - an enlightening album, really liked 'carry me'
5. ryan adams - cold roses: if nothing else, for his shoutout to the new york dolls at the start of 'beautiful sorta'. On the whole this was a really good album, 'If I am a stranger' is a sublime classic
Also worthy of a mention are: the white stripes - GBMS (of course), hothotheat, the mars volta, wolfmother (an 'oldie' but a goodie), the kills, QOTSA and the strokes (just for juicebox)
films: (again, no order)
- the life acquatic...
- star wars III where I apparently turn to the dark side
- 40 year old virgin: hilarious scenes re morning wood
- Hotel Rwanda
- Ray: inspirational and humourous at the same time, a good bio of the man, the musician, the lover and the junkie who was Ray charles.
Alright well now my best list ever is complete.
Luke
