I hardly find it fair for me to make a list since I doubt I heard 10 whole albums from this year alone, but I know mike wants to know. I am more comfortable with my favorite songs of 2008. The basis for this list is simply what I listen to. In the end that is what it's all about. The list is alphabetical, but more so a coincidence since my number one song from 2008 was "Sometime Around Midnight" by the Airborne Toxic Event. Here are the rest:
There are some regulars here: Ben Folds, Mates of State, Tilly and the Wall, Coldplay. But there are two worth mentioning briefly: Kaki King is Katherine Elizabeth King from Atlanta, GA. You should be interested to know that she was the first woman ever listed as a "Guitar God" in Rolling Stone in 2006. But she's also "an out-loud and proud lesbian" seriously kicking ass in the music world. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbJnwk3GBiM She & Him is Zooey Deschanel and M Ward. We all knew she could sing and I'm happy to see Deschanel's debut was well received.

you know we saw that pink noise video before it was even released? it was on johns paste sampler back in the day and i was like, i love her...
anyways, still have to listen to your playlist- ill tell you what i think
well i liked your list last year, but this year i love it-- you even have 3 on here that have a strong possibility of showing up on my list (VW, Ben Folds, Okkervil) and I love the ATE song and the Born Ruffians song. Here are my complaints (and you probably saw them coming): dont like the mates of state song or the kaki king song (i liked her older stuff better). but surprised by the she & him song and the coldplay song-- both very nice. overall dan, nice list for not getting out much this year!
