Welsh sugar rush indie band consisting of seven vegans who used to refuse MySpace friend requests from people if they found their profile misogynistic.
^^^best track on the album in my opinion
EMC isn't a great album, I get that, but I just find it massively comforting. I said it elsewhere, it just reminds me of a kinda legends' sports match, all the highspots being formed at half the speed and yeah you're cutting them a lot of slack because of what they did before, but you gotta show love.
Royce probably isn't the 4th best album of the year, but I've not enjoyed one artist more in the 08. That verse on "Motown 25" on the Elzhi album, man...

I actually dl'd the Esham album after you repped for it on here as well... I dunno, I liked it, but I think I would have gone gaga for it if I was 16. I think I was listening to shit like Molotov back then, it would have filed alongside well.
Heard enough of the Cut Copy at a friend's house, not really my thing. The rest I'll have to do the Myspace run on at some point.

I would put in the Telepathe record, but my "copy" appears to vary in tracklisting from the official tracklist, and the album technically comes out in 2009. But it is quite wonderous.

Crap, we also forgot the Future Clouds and Radar which is pretty excellent (I told you we're no good at this).

The list I posted isn't definitive. I'll probably end up eliminating fleet foxes at all and substitute with the Middle East or perhaps even the Vetiver record. As I said elsewhere I have a love-hate relationship with them fleet foxes, it all depends of how I feel about them when the time comes.

Should somebody (preferably the people who also manage the polls) start the annual albums and songs nomination threads? I think we're ready for it. No reason to wait as long as we did last year, I think.

Hey ♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), glad to know you like the blog and that I helped introduce air france to you... it took me awhile to take ahold of them because I usually ignore hyperbolic bands on the blogosphere. I usually wait for the hype to die down and I pick the ones that survive it. Air France is a case in point, they're really good... I'll end up dropping them from my year end list because it's an ep though and I don't have enough of those this year to make a decent list.
