There are zillions of ‘end of year’ best of lists flying around at the moment.

We had a little talk about it here ,at horse latitude mansions, but decided we didn’t really want to do a top ten albums, cause we can’t honestly say that is how we listen to music anymore.

So perhaps a top five tracks then….

….well maybe later, right now here is a list of 6 (for 06) things I fell in love with. Things that may have been around for ages, but, after coming across, in 2006, I can no longer imagine life without them.

1) 5ep jeans (bought them on a whim in january and have worn them at least 300 days this year ,which is probably a bit skanky ,but they are so beautifully made and for the first two weeks they made me feel like king everytime I put them on)
2)The Road by Cormac McCarthy (bleak yet uplifting, lean and poetic-a bit like me then except for the bleak bit…and not so much the poetic or lean bits either)
3)The Children Of Men-the best film of the year (I could barely get on the tube afterwards and was positively weeping at the denouement-heavy cinema)
4)Entourage-I’ve been pinning after ari and the boys ever since I blew my bitorrent wad a little too quickly by blitzing season three in the Autumn, it’s back on early next year-this dude, for one, can’t freakin wait.
5)’PAUL’ chocolate and almond croisssant with a ‘Monmouth coffee’ cappuccino-now thats a mother freakin’ take-out breakfast.
6)I’ll have to tell that to you in person.
