music
What did you fine people like this year? I did my usual year end list yesterday, which can be found at my horribly neglected blog right here. I found that this years crop of albums was a little lackluster compared to last year, which I thought was quite strong. I wish I had done top 30 or something because I felt bad leaving off a couple albums like the new Bonnie Prince Billy and the new Land of Talk record. Anyway, I want to hear what all of you really liked.

vivian girls was okay
beach house was good
and what i have heard of plants and animals makes me want to remind myself to look more stuff up later
the new gza album was not that great
the new why stuff i liked kinda
and deerhoof was okay neutral
i kinda like walter meego i think it is
don't forget weezy
i dunno
lately i find myself backtracking
a lot of misfits
and trying to find something
early country or rockabilly
I'm afraid I can't contribute anything. I listened to a lot of Bob Dylan, 60s girl groups, and the Replacements this year.
My friend Andrew's unreleased record is really lovely but I suppose that doesn't count.
Dang I forgot Why? - Alopecia
That's prob like number 6
I also should note that I really really loved the Bon Iver record, but it's technically a 2007 record in my mind. Also, really loved the new Bonnie Prince Billy and the new Land of Talk record. You guys should all check out that free Caddywhompus ep, they are so awesome, way way better live too.
there are quite a few others that i liked, but didn't end up listening to a whole lot (the walkmen, for instance).
in no particular order, well alphabetical, ...
beck - modern guilt
belle & sebastian - the bbc sessions
calexico - carried to dust
conor oberst - conor oberst
fleet foxes -fleet foxes
kaki king - dreaming of revenge
the music tapes - for clouds and tornadoes
the sea & cake - car alarm
