A new year is coming to an end
This year ruled in terms of music; soamuch win stuff came out and so much more on the way. What were some of your favorites?
Some of my favorites were:

Blue Lambency Downward - Kayo Dot

props to so many artists though; solid stuff from everyone from pygmy lush to the number twelve looks like you to the deerhunter to off minor to the mars volta to battles to connor oberst and so many many more

still some stuff i've been meaning to check out like the ASVA album and stuff but it will get done in time

looking foward to hearing some stuff from bands like Narrows(some girls, botch, and more) and Bygones (zack hill [hella drummer] and nick reinhart [tera melos guitar player]) and all the cool shit we'll hear next year

anyway what were some bands/artists you were diggin' in 08?
