Seems a little early to announce anything the "Best of 2006", but the Village Voice has released their picks already.
In the arts & entertainment category we were psyched to hear that the Best Appalachian Hardcore Band went to O'Death, a category created just so they could win it, most likely. And well deserved! We love those guys, they played our last Movable Hype show.
Best Literary Blog of 2006 went to Light Reading, which responded in a post that seems to hint at some dislike towards the Village Voice (or as she called it, the "Evil Weekly").
They also interview the geniuses that created Wonder Showzen! As well as the Fiery Furnaces (pictured), and a bunch of others they declare to be their favorite New Yorkers.
Check out all the rest of their picks right here.

i can't decide which of those two has a more retarded haircut.
i am leaning towards the guy on the left, though.
how long do you think he spent coming his hair in his hipster bathroom this morning in order to get the "i don't care about my hair" look? an hour? two?
three?
been listen to the furnaces for almost 4 years now... great band.
"a category created just so they could win it, most likely"
Isn't that kind of the point of the whole article?
That made my day. 'Guy' on the right looks like the station manager from WKRP in Cincinnati.
