End of Year 2008

After much lazy laze. Here is my 'Best Things I Heard This Year' list. It might be Albums, it might be singles, it might be from last year. Enjoy.

5. Thrice- The Alchemy Index: Vol. IV Earth (album)
10. M83- Up! (single)
4. Lupe Fiasco/Justice- The Coolest vs. Let There Be Light (single)
11. Kill The Noise- Hey You (Le Castle Vania Remix) (single)
7. Innerpartysystem- Innerpartysystem (album)
13. Grum- Go Back (Le Castle Vania Remix) (single)
15. Coldplay- Viva La Vida (single)
12. Burden Of A Day- Burden Of A Day (album)
6. Astronautalis- Two Years Before The Mast (single)
1. Emery- Broken Hearts Will Prevail (album)
3. Kayne West- 808 and Heartbreak (album)
2. The Twelves- Anything I heard by them
14. Glassjaw- You Think You're Fucking Lennon (single)
8. Cut Copy- Lights and Music (Boys Noize Remix) (single)
9. Lies In Disguise- Penis Vs. Vagina (single)


There is something I am missing...oh well. I didn't buy as music as I thought I did.

Things I heard this year that didn't live up to my self created hype:
4. Venetian Snares- Detrimentalist (album)
2. Sigur Ros- Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust (album)
5. From First To Last- From First To Last (album)
1. The Faint- Fascination (album)
3. Crystal Castles- Crystal Castles (album)
8. Fall Out Boy- Folie A Deux (album)
7. most of Norma Jean- The Anti Mother (album)
6. most of Astronautlis- Pomegrante (album)


The last two I still love, but the hype I built around them is something only God could live up to. Again, I am sure I missing something from here.
