the 31 best of 2008 – 1: City and Colour – Bring Me Your Love
Published by January 1st, 2009 in music musings and music suggestion. 2 Commentsthe 31 best of 2008 – 2: Will Young – Let It Go
Published by January 1st, 2009 in music musings and music suggestion. 4 CommentsI want to start off by saying how it’s a damn shame that this amazing (A-M-A-Z-I-N-G) album will probably never be released here in the US, and as such, Will Young fans will be forced to shell out import prices to gain access to this amazing record. Additionally, it is a shame, because people that [...]
the 31 best of 2008 – 3: Lady GaGa – The Fame
Published by January 1st, 2009 in music musings and music suggestion. 4 CommentsThis should honestly be no surprise for most of the readers of this blog. It is no secret that Lady GaGa took me by storm this year, and the fact that she is FINALLY blowing up is a great indicator of just how amazing she is.

the 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 game, [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
