fringey top fives of 2005

Ahhh.... so those hacks at NME/Xfm have seen fringey is on to a good thing and done their own top 5 tracks of the year. OH and they will soon regret printing actual real PHOTOs of themselves.

In the meantime - the fringey top fives of 2005:

TOP FIVE TUNES:

*White Rose Movement - Love is a Number

(OK - so we couldn't actually narrow it down to a top five. But if you are the kind of person who is prepared to choose between 'Bullets' and 'Banquet' or 'Love is a Number' and 'Hounds of Love', then you don't deserve ears and we don't want you in fringey anyway.)

Arcade Fire - Funeral

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor

LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem

Dogs - Turn against this land
