Top 12 of 2008

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Yes, Top 12. I felt that 10 just wasn’t enough.

  1. Los Campesinos! – My Year in Lists
  2. The Black Ghosts – I Want Nothing
  3. Those Dancing Days – Run Run
  4. Mystery Jets – Young Love
  5. Friendly Fires – Jump in the Pool
  6. Black Kids – I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You
  7. Holy Fuck – Lovely Allen
  8. The Teenagers – Feeling Better
  9. One for the Team – A Better Job
  10. Billy Bragg – I Keep Faith
  11. ¡Forward, Russia! – Spanish Triangles
  12. Flight of the Conchords – Leggy Blonde

And yes, I know that Lovely Allen was released in 2007 on the album . But the single for came out in 2008, and that’s when I first heard it. So deal. If you can’t stand it, you can sub in MGMT – Time to Pretend.

For your convenience.

Now about this list – I’m not pretending it’s written in stone. It’s a collection of songs from 2008 that I really liked that are in no particular order, other than to have a nice flow. Overall, I really like it (and I should).

I should make these sort of Top 10 playlists more often. It was really fun to compile. That last one I did was for Chris, way back on July 22nd.

So what’s your Top 12 of 2008?
