Here it is, better late than never, I guess. I can't believe there were actually a few of you were who like, "can't wait to see your list, dude!" When it comes to new music, I am seriously lagging these days, but the funny thing is, I don't really care as much as I thought it would. The last time I went record shopping, I mean like, serious ( Read more... )

Did you see Cut Copy when they came to town a couple of months ago? If not, they're coming back in March!

it's weird...2008 was the year in which i moved in with the Guy With The Enormous Music Collection, but it was also the year in which i hardly listened to any music at ALL, let alone new music. i'm a little disappointed in myself.

michaelpop January 7 2009, 01:50:31 UTC

Aww, no need to be disappointed! The E.M.C. isn't going anywhere!

Best year ever! oblio_doblio January 6 2009, 23:57:46 UTC

Maybe it was just me, but 2008 kind of seemed like a ‘Meh…’ year for music.

Sure there was a lot of fine stuff that came out, but stack them up against some of the best albums from the last few years and I don’t think this year's winners would have stood up quite so tall.

Re: Best year ever! michaelpop January 7 2009, 01:51:22 UTC

It seemed that way to me, too. There was a lot of good music, but nothing mind-blowing. Or maybe we're just old dudes complaining about good old days that weren't even that good to begin with. I dong know.

Re: Best year ever! oblio_doblio January 7 2009, 16:56:42 UTC

yeah.. there's probably some truth to that old dudes complaining the good old days.

This year's music actually felt a little too safe if you know what I mean.

Well, with 2008 out of the way, we can start looking forward to the 2009 releases.
