BEST OF 2008 w/ Llama Tsunami & The Without Helmet: Wednesday. Jan. 7. 2009

Llama Tsunami & The Without Helmet, joined me in counting down the top songs released in 2008. I can't think of a better way! Ooodles and doodles of thanks dudes (and dudette, for the lovely Maria)! Hrrrmmmph! Some many good albums this year, but so little time. Shame. I couldn't pick just one (26 was hard) so an order wouldn't do justice. Honorable mentions you won't find on tonight's playlist include: Vampire Weekend, No Age, Beck, Mogwai, The Kooks, & Hot Chip. Also 2008 was a good year for re-releases. As for 2009, I am predicting Dan Deacon and Peter, Bjorn, & John will be on this list this time next year....time will tell. Look for Llama Tsunami & The Without Helmet's selftitled EP featuring the tracks heard live tonight, Swing & Emo Kid being released in early 2009.
