So 2008 is a few days behind us, and I finally got done listening to pretty much everything I wanted to. The fact that I want to keep going back to Animal Collectives MPP is an indication that it is time to make my list already. Here are some albums that were great but didn’t make my list. The list was a top 50 of the freshest albums that 2008 had to offer. Some fell short of making it, but were good enough to my ears to deserve a mention. Here they are:
Deerhoof – Offend Maggie
[mp3] : Deerhoof – Offend Maggie
Dead Confederate – Wrecking Ball
[mp3] : Dead Confederate – The Rat
Lightspeed Champion – Falling Off The Lavender Bridge
[mp3] : Lightspeed Champion – Galaxy Of The Lost
The Cool Kids – The Bake Sale [EP]
[mp3] : The Cool Kids – 88
The Virgins – The Virgins
[mp3] : The Virgins – Love Is Colder Than Death
The Boxing Lesson – Wild Streaks & Windy Days
[mp3] : The Boxing Lesson – Freedon
The Ting Tings – We Started Nothing
[mp3] : The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name
Keane – Perfect Symmetry
[mp3] : Keane – Lovers Are Losing
