Record Labels (Good and Bad)
pat101:
DFA is good
Frenchkiss is good
as far as bad I don't know. I try not to pay attnention to them.
nescience:
On the upside: Mego, Soul Jazz, Childisc and Gooom have been pretty solid lately.
On the downside: 5RC has had a few good releases but it's incredibly uneven, and I also think Sub Pop has seen better years.
Kid Modernist:
Merge, Saddle Creek, and Kill Rock Stars have a lot of my favorites.
Drive Thru Records has a lot of bands I don't like.

The Bad:
Victory Records. Seriously, I challenge you to name a good band on that label.
I don't find it necessary to point out how much terrible mallcore Roadrunner is pushing on us now.

I know it's been done already but Comeback Kid are signed to Victory and they're probably the best current hardcore band in my opinion.

Isn't that the point of 5RC? Shit that's too uneven for KRS. I mean even the great stuff (e.g. Xiu Xiu) I wouldn't just hand to someone.
As to Sub Pop, they've had a great year I think. Kelley Stoltz's EP, Wolf Parade, Rogue Wave, and Sleater-Kinney were all 2005. And I'm not even including Iron & Wine, The Constantines, Holopaw, or Low because I haven't heard much from these 2005 releases. But I hear they were good.
And how has no one mentioned Barsuk or Arts + Crafts yet? Great labels.
I can't think of any bad labels, but KRS was disappointing this year. Aside from the Deerhoof, the Decemberists (who are gone now!) and the Harvey Danger single, what did they put out that was any good this year?
