the top three
Published by December 31st, 2008 in "pointless", blog on blog and the catch-all-egory. 3 Commentsthe 31 best of 2008 – 4: Adele – 19
Published by December 31st, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 5 CommentsFor some reason, everyone has been going crazy over Duffy this year; who is just continuing that foray into the “sounds of the past” that really hit the mainstream last year with Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black.I feel compelled to mention this, because for me, Adele so far outshines Duffy at playing the same [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 5: Uh Huh Her – Common Reaction
Published by December 31st, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 0 CommentsSometimes, all it takes is a MASSIVE lead off single to gain major interest in your album. This is definitely the case with Uh Huh Her’s first full length release, Common Reaction. Late this summer, I heard one of the catchiest, most amazing pop rock songs of the year, Not A Love Song, and because [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 6: Kings of Leon – Only By The Night
Published by December 31st, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 0 CommentsTalk about “taking me by storm”! I had never heard of Kings of Leon before this autumn, and while on vacation, I randomly saw them on Saturday Night Live. I was intrigued by their sound, and when I got back home, I decided to check them out. At the time, they had the number one [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 7: Hayden – In Field & Town
Published by December 31st, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 2 CommentsLet me start this review off by talking about one of the best concerts I saw this year. The show was the amazing Feist, who managed to captivate me in 2007, and ended up at the number 2 spot on my countdown last year. As much as I was beaming with glee at seeing Feist, [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 8: Leslie Hall – Cewebrity
Published by December 30th, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 5 CommentsI know that this is probably going to alienate some of you, but hear me out; this album is magnificent and down right brilliant. I am sure that some of you will hate on Leslie, but that is probably because you are taking yourself far too seriously; Leslie Hall, aka Mother Gem, is a force [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 9: Death Cab For Cutie – Narrow Stairs
Published by December 29th, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 1 CommentGiven the fact that it was a little less than three years ago since the last amazing Death Cab For Cutie album was released, news of a new Death Cab earlier this year was literally music to my ears. Death Cab For Cutie is amongst my favorite bands, because they have this amazing musical style [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 10: Owl City – Maybe I’m Dreaming
Published by December 29th, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 1 CommentA fellow flickr friend introduced me to Owl City earlier this year, and I have to send him a huge THANK YOU; their album Maybe I’m Dreaming is so fresh, fun, fluffy, and fabulous that I could not get enough of it in 2008 (oh yeah, you know you loved that alliteration). Maybe I’m Dreamingmay [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 11: Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend
Published by December 28th, 2008 in music musings and music suggestion. 1 CommentPerhaps this could best be described as preppy indie-pop at its best! I’ll admit Vampire Weekendwas a complete surprise for me, because it was one of those bands that I heard one song, and was like, “hmm…”, and then listened to the record and was like, “wow!”. They instantly became a very guilty pleasure after [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 12: Britney Spears – Circus
Published by December 28th, 2008 in britney n' k-fed, music musings and music suggestion. 7 CommentsNow, I am sure than more than a few of you were expecting this; so don’t act surprised that Britney (the only other album released this month that did so) made my year end list. I for one, was filled with trepidation about Britney staging another “comeback” so close to last year’s failed attempt, but [...]
