Yes, Top 12. I felt that 10 just wasn’t enough.
- Los Campesinos! – My Year in Lists
- The Black Ghosts – I Want Nothing
- Those Dancing Days – Run Run
- Mystery Jets – Young Love
- Friendly Fires – Jump in the Pool
- Black Kids – I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You
- Holy Fuck – Lovely Allen
- The Teenagers – Feeling Better
- One for the Team – A Better Job
- Billy Bragg – I Keep Faith
- ¡Forward, Russia! – Spanish Triangles
- 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?
