Happy Christmas everyone! (and for those who don’t celebrate….I’ll see you in hell)
Bed-ridden with a fever and a freak nasty cough, I was suddenly inspired.
It was while listening to The Sword’s latest Gods of the Earth album, I decided to grace my public with one last gift: Jen Choi’s Top 28 Tracks of 2008!
Although I think 2007 was a better year in music, 2008 definitely had its gems. My favorite albums were:
5. Beach House – Devotion
4. Deerhunter – Microcastles
3. Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks – Real Emotional Trash
2. Crystal Castles – Crystal Castles
1. Animal Collective – Water Curses EP
Honorable Mentions:
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
Lil’ Wayne -The Carter III
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
No Age - Nouns
The Dodos - Visiter
