Mine too, but like you, I got it too late. I'm still loving The Body, The Blood, The Machine

I still listen to about my top 30 albums from 2006. Just got done listening to
Tenhi - Maaäet
It's some awesome very dark, Finnish, string-laden, folk music with a singer who has maybe the deepest voice I've ever heard. Almost guttural really, but it's great. I moved it up to 15 on my 2006 list.

I have a traveling CD case that holds maybe 32 CDs in it. When I get new ones they move in, takeing the place of an older less interesting album. So it's pretty impressive to find a disk still there after a year and a half.
I still carry: Beirut Girl Talk Grizzly Bear Islands Subtle and Sunset Rubdown
I listen to Subtle, Sunset and the Bears a lot. I only just got Subtle early this year though. Beirut, Islands, and Girl Talk just don't have anything similar that can take their place.... yet, and I get a crazing for them every few weeks.

Not so much "still listening to" as I've only just discovered it, but Headlights' Kill Them With Kindness is a great slice of shoegaze pop, better than Citrus, IMO.

wolf eyes - human animal shit and shine - jealous of shine and shine tim hecker - harmony in ultraviolet robert henke - layering buddha jen jelinek - tierbobachtungen the goslings - grandeur of hair
shit and shine & the goslings are incredible albums that would have no doubt made my top 10 last year if I would have heard them in time. Shit and Shine is grimy noise rock.. filthy drums and deep droning guitar. The Goslings are noise-pop. Dense, droning guitar and lo-fi drums with eerie vocals put through a blender.

I'm still really digging the Thom Yorke as well. In fact, it keeps moving up my list every time I listen to it. I think it was a severely underrated album actually. Especially by critics. It'd probably sound a bit better with some more meat added to some of the songs, but other than that, what's not to love?

The lyrics ( oh this is fucked up, fucked up... )? The mindless repetition? The bland synths?
Crane Wife, Drums Not Dead, Ys, and...well, winter is coming up, so time to bust out the Damien Rice. I don't care what anyone says, 9 is very very very good, just like O was.
