2008 brought so many unspeakables… speak this!

here is the true dilemma.  years in music are turning into songs of the year, instead of  albums of the year.  but you know what, f-it.  below is a great album from 2008 JUST because at least two songs on the rekid ruled… (in this time of resession we need to re-adjust our threshold folks):

velocirfero by ladytron.  dang! season of illusion;  but so many others.  this is actually a flow record.  like it from begin to end.  great one to start off with.

david byrne and beno (keeps you from farting):  apart from third song, i am feeling my stuff, that record flows. gotta skip 3 at all times… i think they planned it that way.  i do like the song title though. pretty sure i felt my stuff last night.

melvins… all of kicking machine.  no fuck you. the whole record.

islands… the new album.  the song creeper is kill.

05-creeper

MGMT.  i like tons of that album.  you are dick if you have an attitude about that.  shut up.

s. malkmus & jicks:  dude, gardenia is a friggin hit.  i really like the way you dot your J’s, with giant circles!

annie’s album deserves some love.  i know your girlfriend hates me (or something like that) and SWEET!  two great songs.  you can’t ask more from people these days… as i said, it’s a recession.

i think in the process of all of us blaming things on the recession, it’s gonna be so much bigger of a party when we snap out of it.  and we may not snap out of it, but it seems that since the depression, people have been partying pretty hard.  maybe that’s just me.  well yeah maybe it is, but people partied pretty hard for an inauguration on tuesday and last sunday.  dang.

supergrass record.  they got nothing on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

another friggin deadly song on silver jews record, my pillow is the theshold.  it’s the threshold of a kingdom, a world where i am with you.  it’s a dark and snowy secret, and it has to do with heavan and what looks like sleep is really HOT PURSUIT!!!! yes.  i don’t need tv … and stay up.  this song is really important, i am gonna make sure i upload it (in my pants… teehee!)

ok and i will put it out there.  for all that mykley/marty i right… when you’re right you’r right (say that in a staten island accent).  cut copy has a great two songs that i love to death:

“things go crazy for you… out there on the ice again.  you dont know what to do!! there’s a GAY now, who will be there for you” — to paraphrase cutcopy marty,  there will always be some GAY for you!— and the other song that i will never forget is… hearts on fire.  uh, i am dryhumping my cat as we speak.

    I have to add She and Him Volume 1, From the Valley to the Stars by El Perro Del Mar, and Santagold.

    Ok, so there were some great albums. That Q-Tip album might have tipped the scales for me. But, i do feel like there were less great complete albums. I’ve felt less obssessive about an album this year for the exception of a few. I have high hopes for 2009.
