The New Music

So, a reader of this blog (probably the only one) has asked if/when I'll be delivering a list of my favorite albums from 2008, as I have done in years past. The answer is Yes. Although it might not happen until after Christmas. There are several albums from 2008 that I never got around to purchasing (or even illegally downloading - sometimes I'm too lazy even for that!) so I've put 'em on my Christmas list.

I'm trying to cram in as much listening between now and New Years so I can have as much as possible to choose from when making my selections. I can tell you right now a few albums that will appear somewhere on my list are new ones from Dr. Dog, M83, and Bon Iver.

Once again, though, I feel like this year is a little underwhelming compared to the year before. This always happens. When will a year really blow me away with great albums?
