2008 Top 10

This list shouldn’t surprise you much, for those of you who’ve been keeping up. In no particular order (isn’t that annoying), my favorite 10 albums of 2008. The main criteria being how long they spent in the car. Scientific.   One quick diversion though, here’s what I did Monday morning on the road in North Hampton (that’s me filming).  

 

Speaking of… Winterpills

Central Chambers Hazey, late-night, whiskey-rock. More, please.


Found

This Mess We Keep Reshaping Scottish Beck! Not for the timid.


Denison Witmer

Carry the Weight Sexy-sad Jackson Brownish. Grrrowl.


Santogold

Santogold My shameless girl-crush. If I had to pick only one fave, this would be it.


Al Green

Lay It Down Make me dinner and turn down the lights. Mmm-hmm.


Chris Velan

Solidago Fun. Smart. Makes me wish it was summer. (Technically, it’s a 2009 record, due out in April but you can actually buy an advance copy here.)


Eef Barzelay

Lose Big Quirky & intense. Love the Eef.


Matt Mays & El Torpedo

Terminal Romance Hot, dirty guitars. Oh my.


Gnarls Barkley

The Odd Couple New-pop = brains + groove + soul. Awesome.


Various Artists

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story Two words: Let’s Duet. That’s what she said.

    Love the reenactment video by Winterpills. Nice dramatization. And I would like to nominate “Zach Gill’s Stuff” to the list of albums of the year. Amazing album from ALO frontman & keyboard player for Jack Johnson!

    If you haven’t, please listen to ‘Dear Science’ by TV on the Radio… far and away, my fave of the year. So inspired.
