I have one hour until I need to start getting ready for tonight so this ambiguous list of things I can remember from the year past is a little rushed and would be a lot easier if I already had a blog. Never the less, in no particular order here it goes.
Top 8 of '08 Albums:
No Age - Nouns
Mea Shi - HLLYH
Wolf Parade - Mount Zoomer
Joan of Arc - Boo Human (maybe I'm a bit biased)
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III*
Oxford Collapse - Bits
Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemon You Paint That Shit Gold**
*I don't actually own this one but everything I've heard off of it was pure genius.
**Bobby just bought this for me last night after months of forgetting I wanted to own it, so I haven't actually listened to it in it's entirety.
sidenote: Why is Blitzen Trapper's Furr in everyone's Top lists?
