this is one of the first years that I remember "paying attention" to music. I became aware of AnCo and Madvillain (though I didn't listen to them) and I was really into Boards of Canada. I don't reeeaaally remember anticipating records yet though. 2005 was the first year that a number of anticipated records came out for me, BoC, Autechre, Gorillaz, The Books, etc.
actually that's something novel and fun, when we get to 2006 I can actually start going back and comparing my top 10's made in that year at that time against what I feel now.
