And this is what 2005 sounded like.
Antony and the Johnsons, I Am a Bird
Now
Sufjan Stevens, Illinois
The Clientele, Strange Geometry
Elbow, Leaders of the Free World
Iron & Wine and Calexico, In the Reins
My Morning Jacket, Z
Spoon, Gimme Fiction
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
Wolf Parade, Apologies to the Queen Mary
The New Pornographers, Twin Cinema
Kate Bush, Aerial
Okkervil River, Black Sheep Boy
(Special lyric mention: "You love a stone, because it’s dark, and it’s old, and if it could start being alive you’d stop living alone. And I think I believe that, if stones could dream, they’d dream of being laid side-by-side, piece-by-piece, and turned into a castle for some towering queen they’re unable to know.")
and many, many mash-ups. And 400 nonstop children's songs every night for Lucien. (B, I, N, G, O, and here is how the gentlemen ride and sleep baby sleep...)
