Sean's 2005 Year-End List
3hive.com. Year two. I'm going to take the first shot at a year end list with my fine cohorts following sporadically through the end of the year. That way you'll have a chance to digest it all little by little. Speaking of those cohorts I want to thank Sam, Jon, Clay, Shan, and Joe for their time and taste, rare and refined, because without them I wouldn't be writing this, you wouldn't be reading this, and worst of all, we all would have missed out on 365 days of finely rolled joints, top choice cuts, or any other overly-metaphored term for quality tunes. And as our reader Josh recently reminded me, one of the best things about 3hive, and I'll add, any year-end list, is it gives you that extra kick in the pants to listen to things that you've been hearing about all year, but you haven't actually heard them yet. Start hearing:
