Albums of 2008

10 - TV on the Radio - Dear Science

I want to like them more than I do BUT they do make great videos and that sold me...

9 - A Silver Mt. Zion - 13 Blues For 13 Moons

Stony Canadian brilliance!

8 - Belle and Sebastian - BBC Sessions

What can I say? I'm a tragic hipster (props to Juan Candlaria...)

7 - Portishead - Third

never saw this album coming and it was a pleasant suprise

6 - Girltalk - Feed The Animals

Keep the dance party going!

5 - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!

I've almost forgiven him for growing that terrible mustache.

4 - Stereolab - Chemical Cords

put it on your iPod and discover that it's the best IKEA shopping music EVER!!!

3 - Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan - Sunday at Devil Dirt

Beauty and the Beast...

2 - Sun Kil Moon - April

I only wish I was unhappier so that i could really throw myself into this album

1 - Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Lie Down In The Light

yeah, it's beard-o folkcore but it still can turn that frown upside down

Albums before 2008

5 - Sixteen Horsepower - Folklore

My favorite artist of the decade.

4 - (Smog) - The Doctor Came At Dawn

Oh Bill Callahan, what made you so sad?

3 - Elliott Smith - Figure 8

I was a Elliott Smith late bloomer so this is still in heavy rotation.

2 - Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See A Darkness

Still as dark and uplifting as ever...

1 - The Broken Flowers Soundtrack

Mulatu Astake's weird Ethiopian jazz bits make this...

Best concert of 2008

Colin Meloy at the Rio Theater, Santa Cruz, CA

solo, acoustic, glorious! his banter in between songs cannot even begin to be described without losing EVERYTHING... you should have been there!

Biggest musical dissapointment 2008

R.E.M. - Accelerate

WTF! Just generic and it kind of broke my heart. It wasn't bad. It was just bland...
