Following on from my top 10 songs of the year so far that I posted earlier on in the week, I thought I’d post up links to other people’s similar type lists. Mostly because I enjoy reading this kind of things myself, and there’s a hell of a lot of good music between them all.

The Air Strange: ‘Top 10 Albums of 2006 (so far)’ (inc. Band of Horses, Built To Spill and The Essex Green)

Chromewaves: ‘Mid-Term Reports’ (inc. Camera Obscura, Mojave 3 and a brilliant hybrid cover)

Heartache with Hard Work: ‘Top 10 Albums of 2006 (so far)’ (inc. Mates of State, Voxtrot and Camera Obscura)

Largehearted Boy: ‘Largehearted 2006 Halftime Report’ (inc. Camera Obscura, Mountain Goats, Broken Social Scene and a bunch of good reading)

You people can’t seem to get enough of Los Campesinos! at the moment, and if I’m honest, neither can I. All of their songs are getting a lot of play at the moment. I wanted to include the song below, ‘Death To Los Campesinos’, the other day when I wrote about them, but Myspace was throwing one of it’s fits and not letting me get the song. It’s all working now though, so here’s another fun song to enjoy by them. I’ve made no secret of my liking of back and forth male-female vocals in the past, so this song is an instant winner for me. Even if “I’ll be ctrl-alt-deleting your face” doesn’t actually make any sense.
