I don't want to have to wait til December to be introduced to some great stuff that I should have been listening to all year. It's hard to keep up though.

My favourites after the first seven months are

Beach House - Devotion
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Deerhunter - Microcastle (leak)
Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Real Emotional Trash
Stereolab - Chemical Chords (a real grower)
Why? - Alopecia
Silver Jews - Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea


What have all you lot been absorbing in '08?

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Dr. Dog - Fate
Delta Spirit - Ode to Sunshine

I like the new Beck album, but I think it is kind of weak compared to the last two releases by him.

wow, my four faves have not even been mentioned once so far

For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver
Evil Urges by My Morning Jacket
Distortion by the Magnetic Fields
Accelerate by R.E.M.

my favorite would either be the MMJ or the Bon Iver

also I quite like the albums by Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend of course, Dosh, and Sun Kil Moon

There's never a bad year for music. It really irks me when people say this. Keep looking, you'll find something.

Im not saying it was a bad year. I just havent come across as much that has "hit" me this time around. Last year had a ton of albums that listened to virtually non-stop for months on end and which I consider to be masterpieces..Stars of the Lid, LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead, Panda Bear, Battles, The National. Maybe I really havent looked hard enough this year..but I do feel like Ive exerted a decent amount of effort trying to turn some new great stuff up without a lot of luck. Maybe the second half will come through big, who knows.
